Abstract
The Report of the Kakioka Magnetic Observatory, which is the annual report on geomagnetic and geoelectric observations conducted by the Kakioka Magnetic Observatory, Japan Meteorological Agency, was re-issued on CD-ROM media starting from issue 2001. The CD-ROM version, in addition to the contents of the former printed publication, also contains the following contents: (1) 1-minute values of the geomagnetic, geoelectric and atmospheric electric fields, (2) observation remarks, and (3) Data Viewer, a software application to visualize the recorded data in order to make it easier to use them.
In this paper, we describe the aforementioned contents of the CD-ROM and the basic functions of Data Viewer. Our new data format used in the CD-ROM is briefly shown as well.
