Data for solar radio bursts can also be obtained from the following
international sites (east to west):
|
Culgoora and Learmonth, Australia:
|
Dynamic spectra from 18 to 1800 MHz. The two sites are operated by the Ionospheric Prediction Service Radio and Space Services division of the Australian Governement:

latitude 30 south) where the
radioheliograph once operated and the Australia Telescope now sits; and the
observatory at Learmonth on the northern coast of Western Australia (longitude
114 east, latitude 22 south), jointly
operated with the US Air Force who have a radio patrol system there.
Click on the "Spectrographs" link for Culgoora or Learmonth to see current
data, click on "Historical" to see older data.

Brandenburg. When operating, real-time data can be found
here
(previously here).

together with coronal data from the SOHO and STEREO missions.
|
|
Nancay, France:
|
Radio flux measurements between 150 and 450 MHz in addition to
radioheliograph imaging data at 5 frequencies. Operated by the
Observatoire de Paris and funded by the French research agency CNRS; located

Sample images and daily dynamic spectra in the
range 20-70 MHz may be found at the
BASS-2000 web page.

GDRT, USA:
|
Daily data page gives access to data collected by the NASA/GSFC radio
group, including the Ulysses RAP data, the Goddard Decametric Radio
Telescope (GDRT) , another low--frequency spectrometer based on BIRS,
operating from 5 to 62 MHz and
located at the Goddard facility in Maryland, on the edge of Washington
DC. Use the pull-down menu at the top of the page to select the data
desired. Longitude 77 west, latitude 39 north.
|
|
SRBL, USA:
|
Dynamic spectra from 1 to 18 GHz. Operated by the New Jersey
Institute of Technology at the Owens Valley Observatory of Caltech, longitude
118 west, latitude 37 north.
|
|
OVSA, USA:
|
Interferometer imaging data and flux measurements
from 1 to 18 GHz. Operated by the New Jersey
Institute of Technology at the Owens Valley Observatory of Caltech, longitude
118 west, latitude 37 north.

US Air
Force RSTN data:
|
Dynamic spectra from 25 to 180 MHz and single-frequency microwave data at 0.2, 0.4, 1.4,
2.7, 5.0, 8.8, and 15 GHz are obtained at the Radio Solar Telescope
Network (RSTN) observatories operated
by the US Air Force in Sagamore Hill (MA, longitude 71 east, latitude 42
north), Holloman AFB (NM, longitude 106 west, latitude 33 north),
Palehua (Oahu, HI, longitude 158 west, latitude 21 north), Learmonth
(Australia, longitude 114 east, latitude 22 south) and San Vito
(Brindisi, Italy, longitude 18 east, latitude 41 north). Recent data are
available (with delays of several months) from NASA's NGDC site: the
dynamic spectra are in the SPECTRAL_RSTN directory under monthly
subdirectories labelled by observatory (HOLL, LEAR, PALE, SVTO;
only some recent data are available from Sagamore Hill/SGMR) and month (yymm). The data are in SRS
format and can be viewed in the Windows operating system using a
standalone viewer SRSDisp.exe
supplied by the Australian IPS service and described in a Word
document.
There are now IDL routines to read and plot
dynamic radio spectra of solar radio bursts from the Air Force RSTN
network of patrol telescopes in the NGDC package of Solarsoft that are
versions of my original routines,
read_rstn_srs.pro
and
plot_rstn_srs.pro,
improved by Sam Freeland (the Solarsoft versions use UNIX sockets
instead of wget) and made compatible with Solarsoft practices.
The routine will download data from NGDC but it
is best for you to check first that data are available.
Single-frequency data are in ASCII files under the
RSTN_Radio_Solar_Telescope_Network_1second_data subdirectory.
