SDO Data Access Via The Virtual Solar Observatory
Abstract
The launch of SDO brings not only the prospect of new solar physics discoveries, but also a flood of data. The sustained data rate of 150 Mbs (about 1.6 TB per day) is the highest yet produced by a solar physics observatory, and the handling of the data requires new methods. One approach is to distribute the data storage and request system over a number of distinct sites to reduce the bandwidth requirements at a single location. The VSO, in conjunction with the Joint Science and Operations Center (JSOC) at Stanford and a network of partial archive sites currently at CfA, NSO, ROB, and MPIS, is now able to provide metadata search and data retrieval services for the SDO AIA and HMI instruments. EVE data will also be included in the future. This talk will describe how SDO data can be accessed via the VSO.
