AB: The Geophysical Institute Magnetometer Array (GIMA) consists of eight magnetometer stations distributed across Alaska spanning the auroral oval. Each station is equipped with a ring-core, fluxgate magnetometer, GPS clock and data logger. Data are returned from each station to the Geophysical Insitute, University of Alaska where it is verified, archived, and made available to the space science community. The GIMA web page, at http://magnet.gi.alaska.edu/, provides the data from five stations online in real-time. The GIMA web page also provides realtime data from four Russian magnetometer stations (NOK, Norilsk; PBK, Pebek; TIK, Tixie Bay; CCS, Cape Chelynskin). In addition, three other stations (operated by the USGS) in Alaska have online data available. The data set online spans the time period 1995 to the present. This presentation includes a review of the array, its capabilities (data collection parameters), the web site, and methods for acessing the data set. Interesting examples of the data will be used to illustrate the performance and capability of GIMA.
