Access means - One-shot request for data - Subscription to unlimited access - FTP access
Access to several services is granted to registered users only. Products that are the basis of these services are described in this page; they can be obtained through a one-shot request for data, or yearly subscription or FTP access.
Every product for registered users has a free counterpart, limited usually to a certain period of time: 1985-1989 or 2005. This allows any user to test services before registration and to check their relevance to the needs.
In this table, HC means HelioClim; it denotes the set of HelioClim databases for which the product is available: HelioClim-1 (HC-1), -2 (HC-2) and -3 (HC-3). More information on the databases HelioClim.
