The Geospace Observatory (GO) Canada Initiative

The Geospace Observatory (GO) Canada Initiative The GO Canada initiative is a project that brings together a variety of space weather research tools and infrastructure. This network of ground-based instruments (more than 120 as of June 2019) that monitor space weather over Canada's North collects geospatial data, conducts scientific research and turns scientific knowledge into applications that benefit Canadians. This set of instruments, tools and measuring stations is essential for monitoring the Earth's magnetic field and protecting the population from solar flares. The proposed resources produce an interactive map (Google Earth) showing where GO Canada tools, instruments and research stations are located across the country. This data also identifies the devices and provides a link to the data generated by each station. 2023-11-29 Canadian Space Agency asc.gouvernementouvert-opengovernment.csa@canada.ca Science and TechnologyGO Canada; map; Canadian Space Agency; CSA; magnetic field; solar flares Go Canada_Carte_FRTXT https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/0176458c-553b-48b4-a5e2-492022c81e85/resource/018f2125-f164-4740-b8bf-9fe1b8468f15/download/go-canada_carte_fr.txt Go Canada_Map_ENGTXT https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/0176458c-553b-48b4-a5e2-492022c81e85/resource/04956686-569f-46ce-b44a-e950c0228a36/download/go-canada_map_eng.txt GO_Canada_Carte_Data_FRCSV https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/0176458c-553b-48b4-a5e2-492022c81e85/resource/b335e213-16e9-4755-8125-a22b55319cb5/download/go_canada_carte_data_fr.csv GO_Canada_Map_Data_ENCSV https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/0176458c-553b-48b4-a5e2-492022c81e85/resource/8d5b21aa-f5b6-4586-9b2b-5ac44779b66a/download/go_canada_map_data_en.csv GO_Canada_Map_Data_ENKML https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/0176458c-553b-48b4-a5e2-492022c81e85/resource/a1284c7c-c40f-49c8-92f9-0c15c1ea368e/download/go_canada_map_data_en.kml GO_Canada_Carte_Data_FRKML https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/0176458c-553b-48b4-a5e2-492022c81e85/resource/b8c74190-dd1b-41e8-9c47-e30d4baf01aa/download/go_canada_carte_data_fr.kml Go Canada_Map-Carte_iconPNG https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/0176458c-553b-48b4-a5e2-492022c81e85/resource/e18bba0e-6e42-4e0b-bc04-98da911f0096/download/go-canada_map-carte_icon.png
