1. Progress status

Peter Wintoft and Daniel Heynderickx gave a presentation of the ODI project at the Final Presentation Days at ESTEC. See http://space-env.esa.int/index.php/id-2010-final-presentation-days.html. The presentation can also be found at http://www.lund.irf.se/odi/.

A copy of ODI has been installed at solarwind.lund.irf.se which only contains a subset of the complete ODI database, but with ionosonde data added. It can be accessed at http://solarwind.lund.irf.se/phpMyAdmin/ with user "irf" and password "lund".

It was discovered that one hour of data were missing for each year for each dataset originating from CDF files. The problem was related to daylight saving change in the spring. The parsing code has now been updated so that all dates are handled correctly.

A program has been added (check_epoch.php under tools) that finds the median cadence for a given dataset and then reports all dates that have a cadence that deviates from the median.

Data for the year 2007 are missing in the Dst dataset. Dst comes in four different processing levels: final, provisional, real time, and predicted. The final and provisional are collected from NGDC, the real time from WDC-Kyoto, and the predicted from IRF-Lund. The provisional Dst is transferred from Kyoto to NGDC and previously there was a date range overlap between the two sites. Currently there is instead a gap which means that the 2007 data are missing. This gap will hopefully disappear when the two sites gets into sync again.

DH has re-ingested the IMP8/GME and POES datasets on spitfire in view of the correction of the DATETIME calculation for generic cdf files.

DH has finalized the second SPENVIS interface page for ODI, which presents the user with a selection of data channels to plot. The SPENVIS ODI pages now also use the SPENVIS php utilities provided by M. Kruglanski of BIRA.

DH has investigated the STRV1B REM dataset, and found that the A data are a combination of two housekeeping datasets. The actual REM data are in the B data. DH proposed to HE to merge the two sets, and produce a second dataset containing only the second housekeeping set. If HE approves this approach, it will be implemented. Otherwise, the data as they are now in SEDAT will be ingested.
