Abstract. The eSWua project is based on measurements performed by all the instruments
installed by the upper atmosphere physics group of the Istituto Nazionale di
Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Italy and on all the related studies. The aim is
the realization of a hardware-software system to standardize historical and
real-time observations for different instruments.
An interactive Web site, supported by a well organized database, can be a
powerful tool for the scientific and technological community in the field of
telecommunications and space weather. The most common and useful database
type for our purposes is the relational one, in which data are organized in
tables for petabytes data archiving and the complete
flexibility in data retrieving.
The project started in June 2005 and will last till August 2007. In the
first phase the major effort has been focused on the design of hardware and
database architecture. The first two databases related to the DPS4 digisonde
and GISTM measurements are complete concerning populating, tests and output
procedures. Details on the structure and Web tools concerning these two databases
are presented, as well as the general description of the project and
technical features.
