Progress on transfer of the Intermagnet archive from NRCan to BGS
BGS is actively working on transferring the Intermagnet archive from NRCan. The process involves receiving data from other GINs, developing IT infrastructure, securing data transfer, and distributing data to users. Various tasks are at different stages of completion, with an aim to complete the transfer during 2021. The progress includes agreements with IT managers, software development, and liaising with data providers. BGS aims to enhance services by allowing FTP access, data download applications, and real-time data reception. Stay updated on the ongoing progress of this significant archive transfer project.

Summary BGS are working to move the Intermagnet data archive from NRCan. Archive and real-time data and the associated services will transfer during 2021. BGS will provide services to: Receive data from the other 4 GINs Replace the data download application on the Intermagnet web site Allow users ftp access to the data Make statistics available to data providers
Progress: IT infrastructure and security 100% Task Progress Complete Agree with BGS IT infrastructure managers to host the size of data associated with the Intermagnet archive Complete Agree with BGS IT infrastructure managers a secure way to allow rsync data to be received by BGS from Intermagnet GINs Complete Develop a model for deploying Intermagnet Internet applications using BGS Kubernetes infrastructure
Progress: Receiving data from GINs 50% Task Progress Complete Write software to receive rsync data from the four other GINs In progress Deploy rsync software in BGS Kubernetes infrastructure Liaise with four other GINs to receive real-time data Not started Liaise with NRCan to receive historic data archive Not started Receive definitive data from Paris GIN No work needed (NRCan will continue to clone definitive data from the Paris GIN and convert this from IAF to IAGA2002. They will then put this IAGA2002 data into the rsync stream from NRCan to BGS)
Progress: Distributing data to users 70% Task Progress Complete Update BGS software for INTERMAGNET data distribution Try the data distribution application: https://imag-data- staging.bgs.ac.uk/GI N_V1/GINForms2 Complete Deploy data distribution software in BGS Kubernetes infrastructure Update BGS Intermagnet ftp server Complete Deploy Intermagnet ftp server in BGS Kubernetes infrastructure In progress Provide plots of recent geomagnetic activity In progress (being implemented by staff at Sodankyl Geophysical Observatory)
Progress: Working with data providers 80% Task Progress Implement Intermagnet data embargo period across GIN software products In progress Try the data statistics viewer: https://imag-data- staging.bgs.ac.uk/GI N_V1/GINStatistics Complete Create, store and make available statistics of data usage to data providers
