AB: We introduce the CISM Data Explorer: a collection of data, models, and tools for analysis and visualization, to be used by space physics researchers and students. It relies heavily on well--documented programs and examples written in OpenDX, Octave, Perl, C, and FORTRAN. This project began in response to a need to simplify model (both empirical and numerical) and data (both measurements and model output) exchange between CISM group members. The CISM\_DX package is a community--developed collection of (1) Code for side--by--side visualization and analysis of the output of space physics numerical models; (2) Data sets put into a standard file format and form, and provided with code for display in IDL, Matlab, Octave, and OpenDX; (3) Tools, together with examples of their use, for space physics research, including coordinate transformation codes, and scripts that transforms data from many data providers into a standard file format and form; (4) Code for running the CISM Forecast model and code for carrying out the validation of the CISM Forecast Models using comparison data in the standard data set distributed with CISM\_DX. All of the codes in the package have been tested on computers running the Red Hat Enterprise or the Fedora Core OS, and many components can be run also on different operating systems.
