This manual is very preliminary, please be patient or help adding what is missing.
SPICE papers:
SPICE online information:
The data levels, FITS files, and headers are described in
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:
$SPICEDATA points to the data tree you want to have catalogued
- Run SPICEGENCAT. The catalogue file will be written to the data tree root directory (you need to have write access)
- Run SPICECAT
* The catalogue file generated from all SPICE files is accessible through the UiO website (restricted to SPICE team)
* How to use it in Python
* A CSV export of the part of the catalogue corresponding to each release is provided with the release.
SOAR (and institute mirrors):
* SOAR (how to use it)
Quicklooks:
* Quicklook archive (to be developed)
* Quicklooks in SSW
In the future: VSO. VSO through SSW or sunpy. Sunpy/Fido
===== Access data =====
SPICE team internal access:
* UiO website (restricted).
Once the data will be released:
* SOAR (and institute mirrors)
* List of data releases.
* VSO. VSO through SSW or sunpy. Sunpy/Fido
===== Read and display data (IDL) =====

* Oslo's quicklook tools spice_data, spice_object...

==== Environment variables ====
Choose a location to store your SPICE data (e.g., '/mydata/spice') and then point the environment variable
$SPICEDATA
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 can be accessed by doing:
IDL> spice_cat
Use the “SPICEGENCAT” button to make sure you have the most up-to-date list.
