About WDC for Geophysics, Beijing
The WDC for Geophysics, Beijing site is the homepage of the Beijing National Observatory for Space Environment, a national field observation station that belongs to the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The station was approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology in 2007 as part of the national field station series for geophysics. Its main site is the space environment observatory at the Ming Tombs in Beijing, which was established in 1985. The station combines geomagnetic, ionospheric, and middle and upper atmosphere observation, with connected stations across China.
The site lists observation data and data services, an instrument inventory, and real-time data for the Beijing station, including a digital ionosonde (DPS) and geomagnetic data. Access to observation data is handled through a data application section, and the site also links to GIRO and Madrigal mirror sites. The stated observation network covers China's mid and low latitude regions. The homepage does not state pricing terms.
