Description
Summary:In this paper we report on more than a year of operation of the Real-Time Cosmic Ray Distributed (RECORD) database. This collaborative international program was first announced at the 28th ICRC in 2003. Since that time, the database was launched and tested for more than a year. At present, the RECORD database contains 1-min data of cosmic ray intensity collected at five stations Lomnicky Λ‡Stit, Moscow, Oulu, Tixie Bay and Yakutsk. Within the framework of the database, three data servers are arranged, in Moscow, Oulu and Yakutsk, which are continuously replicated. The attendant software allows user to retrieve and analyze data from any server using high-level programming languages. The database also allows an effective tool for inter-calibration of different instruments. Possibilities of the RECORD database for the use in space weather diagnostics and forecast are illustrated on an example of the event in January 2005. 1.
