Why Zoo?
The web site is called Substorm Zoo, because the aim is to present
events in a variety of data series. In a sense, these events are the
animals of heliospheric wild life. Hence the zoo.
The goal of the SZoo
Substorm Zoo provides a browser-based tool for time-series analysis of
data. Particular interest is in the identification of geo-effective and other
space weather structures.
The web site enables the social data analysis by providing a possibility to
create discussion groups, share event lists, upload own events, share the
comments to the data etc. Szoo tools
