AB: The four-satellite Cluster mission investigates small-scale structures (in three dimensions) of the Earth's plasma environment, such as those involved in the interaction between the solar wind and the magnetospheric plasma, in global magnetotail dynamics, in cross-tail currents, and in the formation and dynamics of the neutral line and of plasmoids. The Cluster Active Archive CAA (http://caa.estec.esa.int/) will contain the entire set of Cluster high resolution data and other allied products in a standard format and with a complete set of metadata in machine readable form. The data archived are (1) publicly accessible, (2) of the best quality achievable with the given resources, and (3) suitable for science use and publication by both the Cluster and broader scientific community. The CAA tends to provide user friendly services for searching and accessing these data, e.g., users can save their frequent data requests as profiles speeding up their future similar requests. The CAA is continuing to extend and improve the online capabilities of the system, e.g., the CAA products can be downloaded either via a web interface or a machine accessible interface.
