For many years, solar observatories have monitored the Sun in the Calcium (Ca) K line wavelength by using a filter that allows only this wavelength's light through, producing calcium filtergrams or spectroheliograms. In the Ca K wavelength one sees bright areas or "plages" (a French word meaning beaches), occurring above sunspot regions. They are located in the chromosphere, at a higher altitude in the solar atmosphere than the sunspot regions in the photosphere. These hot plages or active regions move across the Sun and grow and decay along with the sunspot regions. Daily full disk Calcium K images are reduced to provide Calcium plage positions, areas and intensities or a daily index of the total area. NGDC archives solar Calcium images, reduced tabular data and daily indices. To provide long-term scientific data stewardship for the Nation's geophysical data, ensuring quality, integrity, and accessibility. underDevelopment Solar Data Manager DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce 303.497.6133 or 303.497.6323 (303) 497-6513 NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC E/GC2 325 Broadway Boulder CO 80305 USA solar.ngdc@noaa.gov 7:30 - 4:30 Mountain Contact Data Center pointOfContact asNeeded Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Radiation > Solar Irradiance Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Radiation > Solar Radiation Earth Science > Sun-Earth Interactions > Ionosphere/Magnetosphere Dynamics > Solar Wind Earth Science > Sun-Earth Interactions > Solar Activity > Solar Active Regions Earth Science > Sun-Earth Interactions > Solar Activity > Solar Imagery Earth Science > Sun-Earth Interactions > Solar Activity > Solar Irradiance Earth Science > Sun-Earth Interactions > Solar Activity > Solar Prominences/Solar Filaments Earth Science > Sun-Earth Interactions > Solar Activity > Solar Ultraviolet Emissions theme NASA/Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Earth Science Keywords 2007-04 revision Version 6.0.0.0.0 2007-04 NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/GCDC/GCMD > Global Change Master Directory, Global Change Data Center, Earth Sciences Division, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA http://gcmd.gsfc.nasa.gov/Resources/valids/archives/keyword_list.html http web browser GCMD Keywords, Version 6.0.0.0.0 Thesuarus for earth science keywords and associated directories hosted and maintained by NASA. information resourceProvider WDC/STP, BOULDER > World Data Center for Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Boulder DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC > National Geophysical Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCenter NASA/GCMD Data Center Keywords Space > Solar Region > Chromosphere Space > Solar Region > Photosphere place NASA/GCMD Location Keywords otherRestrictions otherRestrictions Access Constraints: None Use Constraints: None Distribution Liability: While every effort has been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the limits of the current state of the art, NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in the data, nor as a result of the failure of the data to function on a particular system.
