From ViRBO
ViRBO (Virtual Radiation Belt Observatory) is one of the domain-specific virtual observatories in the NASA Heliophysics Data Environment[1] program. ViRBO provides access to metadata, data, visualizations, and services related to Earth's radiation belt. ViRBO also hosts web pages and presentation documents associated with radiation belt-related science meetings and workshops - see the Science Meetings list for more information.
The ViRBO project was discontinued in 2014 and these pages are no longer being updated. Feel free to contact rweigel@gmu.edu if any links to information that you are interested in are broken.
