Working with Canadian Instrument Data and Models

CARISMA, CANOPUS, IMAGE, and THEMIS Magnetometers

The Canadian magnetometer (CARISMA, CANOPUS, IMAGE, THEMIS) array data can be accessed and manipulated using the GMAG software packages:

Aurora-ASI, THEMIS, REGO, and TREx Imagers

The Canadian All-Sky Imager array (Aurora-ASI, THEMIS, REGO, and TREx) data can be accessed and manipulated using Python packages (and soon IDL packages) maintained by the UoC:

SuperDARN

The SuperDARN Community maintains a comprehensive software package for manipulating and analysing SuperDARN data. 

https://github.com/SuperDARN

Of particular use to non-expert SuperDARN users is the pyDARN software package, where detailed installation and use instructions are available at the corresponding Git:

https://github.com/SuperDARN/pydarn 

CHAIN

The Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Network (CHAIN) provides an IDL software package for downloading, reading, visualizing, and manipulating their Canadian Advanced Digital Ionosonde (CADI) data.
