Description
NASA's Solar Data Analysis Center (SDAC) supports the scientific analysis of NASA's free and open solar physics mission science data, enabling scientists to address the goals of NASA's Heliophysics Division (HPD). The SDAC accomplishes this by supporting science-enabling projects and curating the storage of NASA's free and open solar physics mission science data. The SDAC is part of NASA's Heliophysics Digital Resource Library (HDRL), a body that develops and implements coordinated data and scientific infrastructure strategies supporting NASA's HPD. This presentation will outline recent advances in SDAC-supported projects. This includes the Helioviewer Project, a data visualization and discovery effort, the Virtual Solar Observatory (VSO), a federated data search and download project, and SDAC Watch, a new effort to monitor and track data held at the SDAC. Finally, I will also describe a new effort to transfer and store petabytes of Solar Dynamics Observatory data to the SDAC.
