Newer Mac OS X versions do not include the X11 libraries. XQuartz (X11) has to be downloaded and installed, or IDL will not work. I suspect that idl-pvwave might have some rough patches at the start, and I welcome any suggestions on how to improve it. –Wayne Landsman Posted on January 3, 2018 Categories Uncategorized Leave a comment on The IDL google group forum has moved. 8.5 Nothing in this Licence will limit or exclude IDL Solutions’ liability for: 8.5.1 death or personal injury resulting from its negligence; 8.5.2 fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; 8.5.3 any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by English law.

[April 2021]: The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) data have been extended to December 2020 - February 2021 in the SPDF archive and CDAWeb, and include Encounter 6 and the rest of Orbit 6. Most of the ISOIS datasets include new variables. This release adds a new ISOIS ephemeris dataset, a new SWEAP alpha particle distribution dataset, and reprocessed Digital Fields Board (DFB) cross spectra and subset of FIELDS MAG data.

[November 18, 2020]: The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) data

has been extended through August 2020, for most data sets, and includes encounter 5 and the remainder of orbit 5. The new data files were added to the CDAWeb system and to the SPDF PSP archive.

[November 11, 2020]: Solar-Orbiter data:

The insitu and ephemeris data from the Solar Orbiter mission are available at the SPDF Solar Orbiter archive. The Level 2 and above of science data as well as the low latency data are served at CDAWeb. All the data are mirrored from the ESA Solar Orbiter Archive.p>

[September 2020]: The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) FIELDS and SWEAP

data has been extended through April 2020, for most data sets. The new data files were added to the CDAWeb system and to the SPDF PSP archive.

[August 2020]: GOLD L2 data

is coming into the archive more frequently. See the data and the release notes

[June 2020]: The Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) Cloud Imaging and Particle Size (CIPS) data

products are available in the archive. Access the data and the documentation. The Polar Mesospheric Cloud (PMC) data are organized by hemisphere season each year, and the Rayleigh Albedo Anomaly (RAA) data are by month.

[April 15, 2020]: Parker Solar Probe (PSP) data

has been updated to January 14, 2020 (the start of the 4th orbit around the Sun). New data files have been added to the CDAWeb system and to the SPDF PSP archive. On February 10, 2020: the PSP data included the 3rd orbit about the Sun.

[January 2020]: GOLD L1C and L1D data

are being released more regularly now, beyond 11/30/2019. This includes Channel A and B data, except for Channel B data for the period 12/15/2018-3/15/2019 which are currently only available by special request from the GOLD website. The Level-2 data for O2DEN, beyond 8/13/2019, is also being released. The GOLD Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk Release Notes and data, Revision 3.1 (Dec 8, 2019), are available at the SPDF archive.

[November 22, 2019]: Parker Solar Probe (PSP) data

is available in the archive and all data sets are in CDAWeb.

[September 19, 2019]: GOLD L1C, L1D, and L2 data files

(Channel A) have been replaced with a new version in the SPDF archive. L1C and L1D data were updated to include a flat-field correction (DAY, LIM, and OCC to version 02; NI1 to version 03). L1 data are available through 8/13/2019. L2 data products were updated based on the new L1 data. TDISK, TLIMB, O2DEN, and ON2 (v02) are available through 8/13/2019. The initial release of QEUV data (v01) is available through 1/31/2019.

[August 1, 2019]: Change from FTP to FTPS

As part of Federal policy to encrypt all network connections, FTP access to the SPDF and CDAWeb data archive was changed to TLS-encrypted FTPS on July 31, 2019. Browsers and traditional command line FTP will NO LONGER CONNECT with FTP, but HTTPS access remains. For more information and alternatives, see our FTPS Readme.

[June 25, 2019] Robert McGuire, the head of the Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF) since 1992, has retired.

He started as a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Post-doctoral Fellow at NASA Goddard in 1976, served as the last Project Scientist for the IMP-8 mission until 2006 and was the last designated Principal Investigator of the IMP-8 Goddard Medium Energy (GME) (energetic particle) experiment. He was the Associate Director for Science Information Systems in the Heliophysics Science Division at Goddard.

He has been succeeded as Project Scientist for SPDF by Robert M. Candey with Lan Jian as Deputy.

[June 25, 2019] GIFWALK update:

The Canned plot visualizer interface has been updated to display MMS Quick Look Summary plots.

[February 2017 (Updated July 2018)]: Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF) web sites changed to use HTTPS (TLS V1.1 & V1.2) instead of HTTP:

Scientific data from many heliophysics missions are available at the Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF) through web pages or by using the Heliophysics Data Portal. This includes CDAWeb data browsing, SSCweb orbit displays and the OMNIWeb as well as the CDF software pages.

All of these SPDF web sites and web services have changed from HTTP to HTTPS to provide assurance that you are accessing the servers you expect and not imposter sites. This change has been planned for some time and is in keeping with the rest of the US Government. FTP data access is not affected at this time.

For most people, this will be transparent since current versions of browsers will redirect automatically to the HTTPS pages. However, this may be an important and immediate concern for developers and users of SPDF Web Services inside Java, IDL or other software packages, since most web service calls will BREAK until updated to specify HTTPS instead.

SPDF web services and some clients - that need to be changed to HTTPS:
CDAS: https://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/WebServices/
SSC: https://sscweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/WebServices/
IDL CREADER: https://hpde.gsfc.nasa.gov/CDAWeb_to_IDL.html
Calls to OMNIweb inside software packages: https://omniweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/
Also SPDF web services from the SPEDAS IDL library: http://spedas.org/wiki/

Clients running with recent run-time environments (e.g., Java 1.8.0_102, IDL 8.5.1, etc. or newer) will likely not have a problem using HTTPS. Clients using an older run-time may have to update their environment with newer Certificate Authority (CA) root certificates. Additional information about accessing these web services over HTTPS is available at https://sscweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/WebServices/https.html

[October 2016]: CDF Version 3.6.3.1 Released:

Common Data Format (CDF) Version 3.6.3.1 is now available. This release contains a minor change to the earlier release of V3.6.3.0 and includes a new leap second added for 1/1/2017. Please read the change notes that describe the changes made in this release, as well as all previous releases. Updates for Perl, IDL, Matlab, and Java interfaces and the SKTeditor CDF editor are also available.

[2016]: Revised Definition of the Sunspot Number Index:

Sunspot Number Index values 1963-2015 in OMNI have been updated to the revised Version 2 definition now used by the Royal Observatory of Belgium. The updated values are generally larger by factors 1.2-1.7 and can be compared in detail using OMNIWeb's sunspot index comparison tool.

[2014-Oct-14]:New CDF Version 3.6.0 Released:

The Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has issued an important update to its Common Data Format (CDF) package of software APIs and too
