DATA GUIDE

Section I: Determining which data you want

Section I.a: I need to browse through some data before I can decide what data I'd like to request.

Section I.b: I'd like a more detailed look instead of just a "browse."

Section I.c: I'm looking for a specific feature, event or phenomenon but I haven't determined the date/times of the images I need.

Section I.d: I know the start time and end time of the event or phenomenon I'd like to study, but I don't know which wavelength(s).

Section II: Accessing the data

Section II.a: I want images and/or a movie, and I don't need the full science data files.

Section II.b: I need FITS data files, and I think I know the time range and wavelengths of the images I want.

Section II.c: I need FITS data files, I know the time range and wavelengths of the images I want, but the available data volume is overwhelming.

Case 1: Using subfields/cutouts Section II.d: I need FITS data files, I know the time range and wavelengths of the images I want, but the available data volume is overwhelming.

Case 2: Decreasing the temporal or spatial resolution

Section III: Analyzing the data

Section III.a: Well, well, well. So what have we here?

=== Section III.b: What analysis tools are available? ===

Section III.c: What are the limitations of the data?

Section III.d: I'm ready to publish. Who do I acknowledge?

Appendix I: IDL and the SolarSoft software tree

Appendix I.a: What is IDL?

Appendix I.b: What is SolarSoft?

Appendix I.c: I have IDL, but I don't have the SolarSoft software tree on my computer.

Appendix I.d: I have the SolarSoft software tree on my computer, but I'm not sure if I have the appropriate software packages installed.

Appendix II: Identifying and retrieving data using the Virtual Solar Observatory's IDL interface

Appendix II.a: Searching the VSO catalog using vso_search.pro

Appendix II.b: Retrieving data with vso_get.pro
