March 2004              About STATION LISTS	

These station lists have not been updated since 1995, but are occassionally 
useful to SEC customers. Please use with caution.

Station lists are sorted and grouped in nine different ways:
	All stations by: Name, Latitude and Longitude
	All stations by type of data:
	   Optical, Geomagnetic, Ionospheric, TEC, and Radio Flux
	All satellites



Abbreviations are used on some plots and listings.
Complete station name and country
Station location
The station's affliation:
  	URSI - International IUWDS stations
  	USGS - U.S. Geological Survey
  	USAF - U.S. Air Force
        RGON - International Intermagnet magnetometer stations

Type of data sent to SEL:
	Opt   - Optical Observatory reporting solar limb and disk events
		including solar flares, and region summaries.
	Mag   - Ground-based magnetometer sites, some send A and K indices,
	 	others send H, D, and Z components, and some send both.
	Iono  - Ionospheric stations sending hourly values of foF2, M3000,
		fmin, and/or foes.
	Radio - Solar Radio Flux at various frequencies. Some also report
		radio bursts.
	TEC   - Total Electron Content.
	Fsct  - Stations that routinely forecast solar and geomagnetic activity.
	Sat   - Satellites. GOES satellites are tracked by SEL in real-time
		but the NOAA satellite data is received only every ??hours.
