SDO Data Access for HMI and AIA

Welcome to the Joint Science Operations Center (JSOC) HMI-AIA Science Data Processing (SDP) home. The HMI and AIA instruments on the SDO mission operate the JSOC SDP at Stanford University and the Instrument Operations Center (IOC) at Lockheed-Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory.

The SDP center at Stanford University is the point of contact for access to HMI and AIA primary observable datasets. The SDP is also the home of most HMI processing and access to higher level HMI data products. Higher level AIA processing is performed at the LMSAL JSOC-AVC (AIA Visualization Center) which also houses JSOC IOC.
Additional information may be found at: The HMI  home page; The AIA  home page; The EVE  home page; And the SDO  page.

JSOC Software Development - jsoc2 only

The JSOC data access tools do not work with browsers that do not support open standards. They have been tested for Firefox, Netscape, Safari, Opera, Chrome, etc. They do not work properly with MS Internet Explorer. (the above words are copyrighted by their owners).

Access to JSOC Data

  • Visual Catalog -  HMI Standard Products - Visual Catalog
    The easy way to find the type of data you need!
  • Lookdata -  http://jsoc2.stanford.edu/ajax/lookdata.html - Web-based data and metadata access tool
    Use lookdata to explore data and to request an export of the chosen data.
  • Exportdata -  http://jsoc2.stanford.edu/ajax/exportdata.html - Web-based data export tool
    Use this link to export recordsets when you know the query to use.
  • Script Driven -  http://jsoc2.stanford.edu/ajax/exportfile.csh - Prototype user script-based data export tool
    Use this sample script to export recordsets when you know the query to use and you want to use a local script to automate the request. You will want to tune the script to meet your needs.
  • Other data access tools are still in development.
  • Note - The above tools are designed for standards compliant browsers.
    - They work with Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome, etc.
    - They do not work with Internet Explorer (MSIE) at present.
  • VSO -  Access to several commonly requested HMI and AIA data types is also available via the Virtual Solar Observatory.
    Direct access from specific VSO sites can be accomplished in the SolarSoft IDL package by using the 'site' keyword in vso_get. For example site='cfa' will access data from CfA, Harvard while site='rob' will access the netDRMS/VSO site at the Royal Observatory of Belgium.
