Welcome to the Virtual Solar Terrestrial Observatory
The Virtual Solar Terrestrial Observatory (VSTO) is a unified semantic environment serving data from diverse data archives in the fields of solar, solar-terrestrial, and space physics (SSTSP), currently:
  • Upper atmosphere data from the CEDAR (Coupling, Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions) archive
  • Solar corona data from the MLSO (Mauna Loa Solar Observatory) archive
The VSTO portal uses an underlying ontology (i.e. an organized knowledge base of the SSTSP domain) to present a general interface that allows selection and retrieval of products (ascii and binary data files, images, plots) from heterogenous external data services.
