INTRODUCTION

National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has continued solar radio and optical observations since 1950’s. This site is a data base of NICT solar observation, which includes solar radio dynamic spectra obtained with HiRAS (1996-2016) and YAMAGAWA (2016-present), and H-alpha images observed at Hiraiso Solar observatory (1994-2006).
