Abstract
A new era in the history of ionospheric forecasting began during the International Geophysical Year (IGY, July 1957 to December 1958), based on earlier efforts to predict ionospheric effects on HF radio communications. Solar-terrestrial physics had developed from the traditional disciplines of ionospheric physics, geomagnetism, solar physics, and cosmic ray physics, and was to assume a prominent role with the inauguration of World Data Centers (WDCs). WDCs for Solar-Terrestrial Physics (STP) in Boulder, Moscow, Chilton, and many other locations began systematically collecting, analyzing, filing, and distributing worldwide the routinely observed geophysical data through space and time, describing the environment between the surface of the Sun and the surface of the Earth.
