Accessing and Exploitation of SDO data
Monday May 23, 2011
Background |
The NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory mission, launched in February 2010, has
provided for more than a year images of the Sun with unprecedented details.
The SDO-AIA and SDO-HMI telescopes together produce 4k x 4k images at a rate
of 1.5Tbytes/day.
The STCE hosts the European hub for SDO data. It maintains a rolling archive
of the latest 6 months of data, as well as a long-duration, low cadence data
set, and a subset of the most frequently required events. The centre is
intended to provide real-time web access to the basic images in variable
resolution, and has high speed computing resources to generate composite and
transformed images in real-time.
The aim of this workshop is to
- present the computing and storage facilities
- present the various ways available for accessing the data (using IDL or
not). A hands-on session is foreseen to get familiar with those.
- present some examples of intensive exploitations using the compute cluster
- discuss further scientific exploitations of these data.

recommandations |
For the hands-out session, we recommend that you come with
your laptop, and have the necessary software (IDL, python) installed. The
scripts to be run during this session will be available on
http://wissdom.oma.be prior to the morning (on Friday 20 May). |
