Acknowledgements for the 210 MM Chain

NOTE: The degree sign should follow all uses of '210'.
Rules: Taken from web site: http://www.stelab.nagoya-u.ac.jp/omosaic/goin95/geomag.html
from the README on anonymous ftp site: 133.47.128.10
from the list of co-investigators on the 210 MM chain
from the reference: Yumoto, K. and the 210 MM Magnetic Observation Group, The STEP 210 magnetic meridian network project, J. Geomag. Geoelec., in press, 1996.

A) Contact PI Dr. K. Yumoto in all cases at yumoto@geo.kyushu-u.ac.jp and let him review the acknowledgments, references, paper, etc.
B) Contact Co-I Dr. K. Shiokawa at shiokawa@stelab.nagoya-u.ac.jp if any data is removed from the web or anonymous ftp site.
[NOTE: All data is labelled XYZ but is in HEZ nT. Z is + upward for all SH stations since Aug 12, 1993 or earlier, so sign is changed to be + downward. All NH stations (including YAP and KOR) have Z + downward. Both CBI and WWK have Y(E) + westward, so this sign must be changed to be + eastward.]

1) When the 210 MM data are essential in the publication and presentation, the user is requested to offer an authorship to the PI and members of the 210 MM team.

2) If no one on the 210 MM team participates as an author, the paper should acknowledge the 210 MM team and STEL for the use of the data base and should refer to the following papers:
a) Yumoto, K., Y. Tanaka, T. Oguti, K. Shiokawa, Y. Yoshimura, A. Isono, B. J. Fraser, F. W. Menk, and the 210 MM Magnetic Observation Group, Globally coordinated magnetic observations along 210 magnetic meridian during STEP period, 1, Preliminary results of low-latitude Pc 3's, J. Geomag.

b) Yumoto, K. and the 210 MM Magnetic Observation Group, Initial results from the 210 magnetic meridian project - Review, J. Geomag. Geoelec., 47, 1197-1213, 1995.
[NOTE: Would probably prefer to reference the in press article on the network project since the data would often be taken from there.]

General acknowledgment:

The authors would like to aknowledge use of the 210 Magnetic Meridian (MM) data. The PI K. Yumoto manages the 210 MM observations project and group. The database is located at the Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory (STEL) at Nagoya University.

Specific acknowledgments for each station used (can be combined for institutions that manage more than 1 station):
[NOTE1: Only Co-I's are named here, and those not associated with a particular station are not named (i.e., Shiokawa, Takahashi, Kokubun, Matsuoka, Osaki, Tanaka, Seto, Sakurai). This may be changed, especially in the cases where Dr. K. Shiokawa has provided the data, since he is one of those who is not specifically named. Also, others named in the 1996 JGG article could be named here.]
[NOTE2: The web acknowledgments did not label ISTP(IRT), IGCAS (BJI), GSARI (KAT), and STEL (MSR,KAG)]
