Scientific paper

The upcoming STEREO mission's IMPACT and PLASTIC investigations will provide the first opportunity for long duration, detailed observations of 1 AU magnetic field structures, plasma ions and electrons, suprathermal electrons, and energetic particles at points bracketing Earth's heliospheric location. Stereoscopic/3D information from the STEREO SECCHI imagers and SWAVES radio experiment will make it possible to use both multipoint and quadrature studies to connect interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (ICME) and solar wind structures to CMEs and coronal holes observed at the Sun. To fully exploit these unique data sets, tight integration with similarly equipped missions at L1 will be essential, particularly WIND and ACE. The STEREO mission is building novel data analysis tools to take advantage of the mission's scientific potential. These tools will require reliable access and a well-documented interface to the L1 data sets. Such an interface already exists for ACE through the ACE Science Center. We plan to provide a similar service for the WIND mission that will supplement existing CDAWeb services. Building on tools also being developed for STEREO, we will create a SOAP application program interface (API) which will allow both our STEREO/WIND/ACE interactive browser and third-party software to access WIND data as a seamless and integral part of the STEREO mission. The API will also allow for more advanced forms of data mining than currently available through other data web services. Access will be provided to WIND-specific data analysis software as well. The development of cross-spacecraft data analysis tools will allow a larger scientific community to combine STEREO's unique in-situ data with those of other missions, particularly the L1 missions, and, therefore, to maximize STEREO's scientific potential in gaining a greater understanding of the heliosphere.
