Description
The LASP Interactive Solar IRradiance Datacenter (LISIRD), https://lasp.colorado.edu/lisird/, is a website where researchers can discover, visualize, and download over 140 solar datasets from various missions, instruments, models, and laboratories. By offering openly available data via a simple web interface, LISIRD removes common barriers researchers encounter when accessing and analyzing solar data.
LISIRD enables researchers to plot data interactively in the browser, save and share plot configurations via URL, and customize downloads by variable, time range, and format to produce analysis-ready data. These datasets are also available programmatically via LISIRD’s LaTiS and HAPI APIs, letting users pull data directly into their own notebooks and analysis pipelines. Together these capabilities lower the barrier to entry, inviting participation from scientists across disciplines and experience levels.
This poster will demonstrate the key features of LISIRD, describe its current technology infrastructure, and outline future improvements. It will also encourage discussion and community collaboration to advance standards and interoperability for accessible data-analysis tools in heliophysics.
