1 Working with the new CEDAR Madrigal Archive Database Bill Rideout MIT Haystack Observatory June 25,

2 Key points of talk The new CEDAR archival database is a Madrigal node cedar.openmadrigal.org Old CEDAR database already imported Madrigal is open source - developed by the community with Millstone support Users wanting to put data into Madrigal archive: Work with Millstone to fully automate loading directly to archive Set up your own Madrigal node - automated import 2

3 The new CEDAR archival database is a Madrigal node Simple web UI (Jicamarca) Full web UI Documentation of script access 3

4 Madrigal is a distributed database 4

5 Cedar Madrigal archive imports all data weekly 5

6 Script access to Madrigal Scripts can be written in Matlab, python, IDL Every version comes with globalisprint Allows downloading any slice of the whole database with a single command Always requires name, , affiliation Please avoid multiple threads 6

7 cedar.openmadrigal.org Go directly to cedar.openmadrigal.org, or Go to any Madrigal site, use Full Data Access, or Link from CEDAR 7

9 Madrigal is open source Source at Madrigal 2.6 features developed with Jicamarca: New Simple Web UI Download data as HDF5 Madrigal 3.0 features - HDF5/netCDF4 format 9

10 Putting data into Madrigal Option 1: Load directly into the CEDAR Madrigal Archive Send Bill Rideout Sample data in your format Standard plots you create Documentation on your instrument/analysis Verify sample data loaded correctly Upload new data and plots to sftp site Get when loaded (within 24 hours) Download usage log 10

11 Putting data into Madrigal Example: SSI Fabry Perot at Arecibo 11

12 Putting data into Madrigal Set up your own Madrigal site Automatically archived weekly 12

13 Summary Workshop Thursday 4pm Zia: Making loading data and accessing data easy with Madrigal and the CEDAR Madrigal archive 13
