The restoration of on-line data lost during the JSOC flood of November 2024 is in its final stages. Of the 12 million directories lost, all but 0.6 million have been retrieved. The includes all of the AIA Level 1 data, the HMI SHARPs, and the SOHO/MDI files. Nearly all on-line products back to February 2014 are available at this point. Archive tapes generated before Feb. 2014 are an older format that require more time to process.
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.
