Data Policy

Please note: If you acquire MU radar data, we ask that you acknowledge us in your use of the data. This may be done by including text such as MU radar data provided by Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere of Kyoto University. We would also appreciate receiving a copy of the relevant publications. See also the web page for the MU radar collaborative research program. Thank you!

Data

This data has been registered in IUGONET (Inter-university Upper atmosphere Global Observation NETwork) metadata database. The IUGONET metadata database will be of great help to researchers in efficiently finding and obtaining ground-based observation data spread over the institutes/universities. Click and visit to the IUGONET website.
IUGONET also prepared the data analysis software suite (UDAS) for the upper atmospheric observation data. If you install the UDAS, you can easily access, download, visualize and analyze the MU mesosphere observation data through the Internet. Please click and try to use the UDAS.
