Korea SDO Data Center

KDC for SDO Korean Data Center for SDO, KASI construct a data center for HMI and AIA data. We have compressed Rice FITS data and JPEG2000 data fully. The goal of Korean Data Center for SDO provide easy and fast data access service for researchers in Asia.

The SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory) is designed to help us understand the solar influence on Earth and Near-Earth space by studying the solar atmosphere on small scales both of space and time and in a variety of different wavelengths simultaneously. It was launched on February 11, 2010. There are three scientific instruments: Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI), and EUV Variability Experiment (EVE). The Korean Data Center for SDO (KDC/SDO) archives and provides scientific data for AIA and HMI. Stanford University and Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory (LMSAL) are jointly operating JSOC (Joint Science Operations Center) which is a data center for HMI and AIA. The KDC/SDO will provide safe, reliability, and availability for the SDO data with them. We will provide easy and fast data access service for researchers in Asia.
