Data products for HMI and AIA after 2023.12.23 are available for export. Incoming data are being fully processed as they arrive.
About 3% of the data before 2023.12.23 are not yet available from JSOC. Earlier data are being recovered from the tape archive. We are not able to fulfill export requests for offline data until the restoration is complete in several weeks.
Thanks to the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) several archival HMI data series spanning the entire mission are available through the German Data Center for SDO. MPS-hosted data must be accessed using the new dataview interface. No “on-export” processing is available for these series.
The dataview and export tools are in beta release and may be fussy; we are working to improve the documentation and performance. Contact us for assistance. We are grateful to our user community for your continued support and patience.
The SDO/JSOC team is happy to announce that data products for HMI and AIA after 2023.12.23 are available for export. Incoming data are being fully processed as they arrive. Less recent data will become available over time as we continue to make progress recovering from the disastrous flooding of the computer facility on 26 November 2024.
The request queue may be long as the community collects products that are now available, so please be mindful of how you download data. We ask that you limit your data requests initially by using no more than one account and by waiting for completion of a pending request before submitting a new one. Please keep your request under the 49 GB limit.
About 5% of the data before 2023.12.23 will not be available from JSOC until the data have been restored from tapes. You may search the earlier data and keywords using the lookdata tool. If the data are online, lookdata will provide ‘as-is’ links to FITS files and report as unavailable the missing segments. BE WARNED, these ‘as-is’ files do not include any of the usual metadata keywords. You may request export of online files with metadata, but any export request that includes data segments that are offline will fail.
The complete set of AIA synoptic data are available at: http://jsoc.stanford.edu/data/aia/synoptic. The AIA synoptic data are calibrated Level 1.5 images with reduced 1k x 1k resolution at a regular 2-minute cadence.
A number of archival HMI data series for the entire mission are available thanks to the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS). The available series include all of the Doppler velocity, continuum intensity, and line-of-sight magnetic field data files at both 45s and 720s cadence. MPS also hosts many helioseismology data series and some other partial series. A catalog can be found at the German Data Center for SDO. The MPS-hosted data must be accessed using a different interface at jsoc1.stanford.edu/export/dataview. No “on-export” processing is available for these series, and other direct access methods will not work. BE WARNED: the dataview and export tools are in beta release and may be finicky; we are working to improve the documentation and performance.
The team is working to expand the catalog of complete data series available at JSOC as quickly as tapes can be read. We are prioritizing these most popular data series in the coming weeks: HMI.SHARPs (standard and CEA), AIA Level 1, and the HMI vector magnetic field.
We are grateful to our user community for your support and patience.
