Coordinated Science in the SEC Program and the Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF)

• Sun-Earth Connections (SEC) is all about understanding Sun-Earth-Interplanetary Medium as a physical system

  • Global quantitative picture of a dynamic, 3D system of plasmas, fields, energetic particles from the Sun to the Earth and beyond
  • In-situ and remote-sensing data (plus models)
    

• Our interest and role is to “enable” multi-source SEC science

  • Our efforts are focused to issues where there is need

• Our efforts are OPEN (core of services are WWW public accessible)

  • A common reference point is http://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov

• We do NOT do this alone (!)
