AB: The UCLA Ground Magnetometer Data Server is an online server that provides an interactive environment for scientists to freely access geomagnetic field data collected in the United States, China, and other parts of the world. All data are 1-sec samples of the geomagnetic field, and therefore they are useful for studying various phenomena of the magnetosphere, such as substorms, sudden impulses, and Ultra-Low-Frequency (ULF) waves. The online data are stored in a uniform flat file format. In addition to providing on-line geomagnetic data, the web server also contains all basic information of the ground experiment and the data archives that an off-site scientist needs when exploring the data. The location of the interested observatory is displayed on the web browser, where a map as well as the location in geographical and geomagnetic coordinates are given. The data availability for each station and for a given day can also be searched for convenience. The magnetometer data are provided in two forms: the ASCII listing and interactive time series plots. The time series plots can overlay data from up to four stations at the same time for comparison. Online instruction is also available for users to learn all included functions. The future plan to expand the capability of this data server includes providing time series plots in longer time scales, enhancing the connection with other standalone ground magnetometer data servers, and supplying online data to relevant virtual observatories. The URL address of the UCLA Ground Magnetometer Data Server is \texttt{ http://www-ssc.igpp.ucla.edu/uclamag/data_center/}.
