Since 2004, as one of the research institutes constituting the Research Organization of Information and Systems (ROIS), NIPR has been playing a major role in Japanese Antarctic research programs, while pursuing cutting-edge studies in collaboration with research communities relating to the earth, the environment, life, space and other fields. Furthermore, NIPR is opening up new frontiers in interdisciplinary research under the framework of the Transdisciplinary Research Integration Center (TRIC) at ROIS and various other inter- university research programs. Japanese Antarctic research programs have the history of more than 50 National Institute of Polar Research Japan 2011 - 2012 years and observations in polar regions are becoming increasingly important for monitoring earth environment. NIPR involves in wide range of activities in the Antarctic research programs both temporally and spatially through C o n t e n t s research by using advanced method, long-term monitoring observations and field and ocean observations in extensive areas. Arctic research is drawing attention in recent years in particular, along with growing interest in global warming. NIPR steadily implements the Arctic Climate Change Project as one of Green Network of Excellence (GRENE) programs in collaboration with various research communities. NIPR further develops research in other areas of polar science not only in Arctic but also in bipolar areas. Katabatic wind that blow down These studies are planned and implemented under international Yamato mountains. frameworks. Having participated in activities of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), the Asian Forum for Polar Sciences (AFoPS) and international joint observations with legacy of International Polar Year 2007-2008 (IPY2007-2008), NIPR plays an important role in international global observations. The training of the researchers is a big task of the institute, too. As a parent institute of the Graduate University for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI), NIPR accommodates a 5-year doctoral course for graduate students in the Department of Polar Science, School of Multidisciplinary Sciences and is involved in fostering promising researchers with high-level research capabilities and skills for field science. Utilizing the findings of observations and research in polar regions, NIPR promotes outreach activities for schools using INTELSAT satellite communication system. In addition, Polar Science Museum opened in the Tachikawa campus in 2010, is used as the information center to transmit history and current status of polar research and its achievement. We ask all of you for understanding and support in our activities. Kazuyuki SHIRAISHI Director-General, National Institute of Polar Research 0 3 Activities NIPR was founded on April 1, 2004, by the Inter-University Research Institute Corporation as a Research Organization of Information and Systems in accordance with Article 5-2 of the National University Corporation Law to carry out multidisciplinary scientific research into the polar regions and conduct polar observations. As the main center for Japanese polar research, NIPR undertakes multidisciplinary research and observations in the polar regions. Recognizing that polar science is an advanced, multidisciplinary earth systems science that includes earth science, Research environmental science, solar-terrestrial physics, space and planetary science, biological science. etc., NIPR conducts joint research projects with researchers from various universities and institutions. As an Inter-University Research Institute, NIPR provides the infrastructure and Collaborative scientific materials and information required for research in the Antarctic and Arctic Research to researchers from universities, research institutes, etc. As a parent institute of the Graduate University for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI), NIPR provides doctoral education and research guidance. In 2006, Graduate NIPR began accepting students in 5-year integrated doctoral course with the aim of Education developing researchers who have a broad, international perspective and a high level of creativity. When requested, NIPR assists with education in graduate schools of the other universities. As the main institute for carrying out the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), NIPR develops and carries out comprehensive research and observation Antarctic projects related to science in the polar regions. NIPR also maintains and operates Research observation station facilities in the Antarctic. In addition, NIPR organizes research Activities expeditions, conducts training, obtains the equipment required for research projects, plans logistics and other tasks, and gathers and maintains the scientific materials and data obtained in the course of observations.

The complex nature of magnetospheric processes cause a wide range of dynamic variations in the auroral zone, which are difficult to forecast. Knowledge of electron concentrations in this highly turbulent region is of particular importance because it determines the propagation conditions for the radio waves. In this work we introduce the numerical model of the auroral E-region, which evaluates density variations of the 10 ionospheric species and 39 reactions initiated by both the solar extreme UV radiation and the magnetospheric electron precipitation. The chemical reaction rates differ in more than ten orders of magnitude, resulting in the high stiffness of the ordinary differential equations system considered, which was solved using the high-performance Gear method. The AIM-E model allowed us to calculate the concentration of the neutrals NO, N(4S), and N(2D), ions + + + + + 4 + 2 + 2 N ,N2 , NO ,O2 ,O ( S), O ( D), and O ( P), and electrons Ne, in the whole auroral zone in the Citation: Nikolaeva, V.; Gordeev, E.; 90-150 km altitude range in real time.

We expanded the frequency sweep range in order to cover large Doppler shift on orbit. The GPS receiver was modified to output pseudorange data with accurate time tag. We tested the performance in low earth orbits by means of a GPS simulator. The range error caused by the receiver is measured to be 0.9 meter in RMS. Receiver was on-boarded on INDEX (“REIMEI”) satellite, which was launched in 2005. Cold start positioning was confirmed repeatedly to finish within 30 minutes on orbit. The orbit determination was performed to evaluate the random position error of GPS receiver by means of the residual error. The random error of GPS position is as large as 2 meter for PDDP=2.5 on orbit. The RMS value of range error is evaluated to be 0.6m from the flight data.

Anomaly events commonly occured during the period of high geomagnetic activity that also triggered the plasma variation in low earth orbit (LEO) environment. Diagnosis process used electron data from MEPED (Medium Energy Proton and Electron Detector) onboard NOAA 15 satellite in addition to fluctuated electron fluxes associated with geomagnetic disturbances within period of 3 days prior to and after the anomaly day. We selected 20 LEO anomaly cases registered in satellite news digest (SND) database in the period of year 2000 to 2008. Satellite local time, one of important parameters in the anomaly diagnosis, is determined by using propagated two line elements (TLE) of Simplified General Perturbations-4 (SGP4) to calculate the Longitude of Ascending Node (LAN) of satellite through the position and velocity vectors.

DARTS is developed and maintained by Center for Science-satellite Operation and Data Archive (C-SODA) at JAXA/ISAS. We archive all the telemetry data of the ISAS satellite for the last ~30 years, and high-level data of most science satellites since 1980`s. Currently we support seven active missions: Hinode (solar), Suzaku (X-rays), Akari (IR), Geotail (STP), Akebono (STP), Reimei (STP) and Hayabusa (planetary). These satellite data are highly processed , and the high-level data are archived at DARTS. Almost all the data go public after some proprietary periods, of which lengths depend on individual projects. Keywords: data archives, space science, astrophysics, solar physics, solar-terrestrial physics, lunar and planetary science INTRODUCTION Data ARchives and Transfer System (DARTS; http://darts.jaxa.jp) is the scientific satellite data archive at Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), which is a part of JAXA. DARTS is developed and maintained by Center for Science-satellite Operation and Data Archives (C-SODA) in ISAS. Development of DARTS started in 1997 with the aim of archiving scientific data of ISAS satellites, and providing the space science data by Japanese missions to global space science community.
