Scientific paper

Since their introduction by Davis and Sugiura in 1966, the auroral electrojet indices AE, AU, and AL have been widely used to study ionospheric and magnetospheric phenomena associated with substorms as well as input to magnetospheric and ionospheric models. While rapid delivery of the indices is highly desirable in the context of both ongoing scientific observations and space weather applications, production of near-real-time AE indices remains a difficult task. A major challenge is acquisition of near-real-time magnetometer data from Russian auroral zone stations, some of which are at remote locations with harsh natural environment and without well- established infrastructure for data transmission. The stations cover approximately 6 time zones, and missing data from the stations means a serious degradation of the AE indices. The Russian auroral and polar ionospheric disturbance Magnetometer (RapidMag) project is an international collaboration to enable rapid and stable acquisition of ground magnetometer data from Russian stations in the auroral zone for production of near- real-time AE indices as well as for distribution of data from individual stations to the science community. The six RapidMag stations are Amderma (65.1N, 138.1E, degrees, geomagnetic), Dikson Island (68.5N, 156.2E), Norilsk (64.6N, 161.9E), Cape Chelyuskin (71.8N, 175.6E), Tixie (65.9°N, 196.9°E), and Pebek (65.3°N, 228.8E). The RapidMag project is entering a new phase with recent funding from NSF and NASA. We present the current status of the project and our plan for the next 5 years.
