Ionospheric Despatch Centre in Europe - IDCE has been established as an initiative of COST 251 Action IITS
(Improved Quality of Ionospheric Telecommunication Systems Planning and Operation).
COST 251 was a four-year project (1995-1999) sponsored by the European Commission involving the participation of 112 scientists and engineers from 46 Organisations in 20 Countries.
IDCE operates since
January 1997 in Heliogeophysical Prediction Service Laboratory of the Space Research Centre of PAS (Regional Warning
Centre of the International Space Environment Service ISES). IDCE allows to have convenient access to some
recent ionospheric data from vertical incidence sounders located mainly within European area as well as to data
available in ISES network. Data are available for the previous and current month. Data for the current
month are presented from the begining of the month up to last measurements available. IDCE offers also the
catalogues of disturbed and quiet days, as well as the list of disturbed periods of few hours duration. The
catalogues contain data since January 1997. For solar, magnetic and other ionospheric information as well as
predictions and forecast please see RWC Warszawa home page.
