• Wiki (including this page)

The data levels, FITS files, and headers are described in

• The Data Products Description Document (DPDD)
• The LLDPDD for the Low-Latency (LL) files

The full SPICE data set (to be cited in papers) has a DOI: doi:10.5270/esa-lbmdy7c. DOIs will also be attributed to each data release.

UiO catalogue:

• Can be generated with IDL/SolarSoft (SSW) from a local data tree:
  1. Make sure $SPICE_DATA points to the data tree you want to have catalogued - Run SPICE_GEN_CAT. The catalogue file will be written to the data tree root directory (you need to have write access) - Run SPICE_CAT * The catalogue file generated from all SPICE files is accessible [[http://astro-sdc-db.uio.no/vol/spice/fits/spice_catalog.txt|through the UiO website]] (restricted to SPICE team) * How to use it in [[data:data_analysis_manual:read_catalog_python|Python]] * A CSV export of the part of the catalogue corresponding to each release is provided with the release. SOAR (and institute mirrors): * [[https://soar.esac.esa.int/|SOAR]] ([[https://issues.cosmos.esa.int/solarorbiterwiki/display/SOSP/SOAR+(Solar+Orbiter+Archive)+-+How+to+Use|how to use it]]) Quicklooks: * Quicklook archive (to be developed) * [[https://github.com/ITA-Solar/solo-spice-ql/wiki/spice_xfiles|Quicklooks in SSW]] In the future: VSO. VSO through SSW or sunpy. Sunpy/Fido ===== Access data ===== SPICE team internal access: * [[http://astro-sdc-db.uio.no/vol/spice/|UiO website]] (restricted). Once the data will be released: * [[https://soar.esac.esa.int/|SOAR]] (and institute mirrors) * [[https://spice.ias.u-psud.fr/data/archives|List of data releases]]. * VSO. VSO through SSW or sunpy. Sunpy/Fido ===== Read and display data (IDL) ===== External links: * Oslo's quicklook tools [[https://github.com/ITA-Solar/solo-spice-ql/wiki|spice_data, spice_object...]] * Peter Young's [[https://pyoung.org/spice/analysis_guide.html|SPICE Analysis Guide]] ==== Environment variables ==== Choose a location to store your SPICE data (e.g., '/my_data/spice') and then point the environment variable ''$SPICE_DATA to it: setenv,'SPICEDATA=/mydata/spice'


This line should be added to your IDL_STARTUP file. Data are organized under $SPICE_DATA with a year/month/day subdirectory structure. See the “Ingesting downloaded data” section below. ==== The SPICE catalog ==== The SPICE catalog can be accessed by doing: IDL> spice_cat''
