The Final AE (AE, AL and AU) index is published yearly in IAGA Bulletin No.32 series,
under the title 'GEOMAGNETIC DATA
AE index was derived by Univ. of Alask since 1957 till 1955,
by GSFC, NASA in 1955, and by WDC-A for STP, Boulder (Joe Allen et al.)
from 1966 through 1995. There is a period which is not covered yet
between 1976 and 1977. Since 1978 WDC-C2 for Geomagnetism, Kyoto
is in charge of derivation of AE index.
Final AE index is a free data set, and you may download the final
