CSAC: Future Plans
This is the place where we keep a track of the huge amount of work that we still have to do with the CSAC project, contingent on future funding and community partnerships. Only shown are the highest priority items [i.e., only those with a priority rating greater than 3 out of 5] as manpower levels dictate.
CSAC Phase Two: Immediate and Ongoing Tasks
| Task | Partners | Priority [1-5] | Target Start | Target End |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hinode/SP Level "1" data production | JAXA, NASA, U. Tokyo | 5 | Ongoing | - |
| Hinode/SP Level "2" data production | JAXA, NASA, U. Tokyo | 5 | Ongoing | - |
| Development of CAZAM - the IDL visualization and data manipulation tool for Hinode/SP data | 5 | 04/08 | 07/08 | |
| Full SOLIS/VSM and DLSP Client Installations at NSO | NSO, U. Arizona | 5 | Ongoing | 06/08 |
| Finish SPINOR data pipeline, begin porting of MERLIN for SPINOR | NSO, U. Arizona | 4 | 03/08 | - |
| Deploy ProMag to NSO and continue development of data pipeline | AFRL | 4 | 04/08 | - |
| Second Hinode Science Meeting Presentations/Tutorials | 4 | 09/08 | ||
| Make ANN and VFISV quick inversion and LILIA codes portable to run with the online inversion client | IAC (Spain), MPS (Germany) | 3 | Ongoing | 10/08 |
| Start developing the CSAC package for Solarsoft | LMSAL | 3 | 09/08 | 01/09 |
CSAC Phase Three: Longer-Term Projects
| Task | Partners | Priority [1-5] | Target Start | Target End |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Development of CSAC version of ProMag Inversion algorithm employing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) | IAC | 4 | 08/08 | - |
| Advanced visualization methods and data manipulation tools for Hinode/SP data | LMSAL | 4 | 05/08 | 05/09 |
