Abstract
This paper presents a new set of online catalogs of solar data products.
The IfA Catalogs of Solar Data Products were developed to enhance the
scientific output of coronal images acquired from ground and space,
starting with the SoHO era. Image processing tools have played a
significant role in the production of these catalogs [Morgan et al.
2006, 2008, Scholl and Habbal 2008]. Two catalogs are currently
available at http://alshamess.ifa.hawaii.edu/ : 1) Catalog of daily
coronal images: One coronal image per day from EIT, MLSO and LASCO/C2
and C3 have been processed using the Normalizing Radial-Graded-Filter
(NRGF) image processing tool. These images are available individually or
as composite images. 2) Catalog of LASCO data: The whole LASCO dataset
has been re-processed using the same method. The user can search files
by dates and instruments, and images can be retrieved as JPEG or FITS
files. An option to make on-line GIF movies from selected images is also
available. In addition, the LASCO data set can be searched from existing
CME catalogs (CDAW and Cactus). By browsing one of the two CME catalogs,
the user can refine the query and access LASCO data covering the time
frame of a CME. The catalogs will be continually updated as more data
become publicly available.
