Machine Learning Data Set for NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory

SDO/AIA, SDO/HMI, and SDO/EVE

Galvez et al 2019 ApJS 242 7

We present a curated dataset from the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission in a format suitable for machine learning research. Beginning from level 1 scientific products we have processed various instrumental corrections, downsampled to manageable spatial and temporal resolutions, and synchronized observations spatially and temporally. We anticipate this curated dataset will facilitate machine learning research in heliophysics and the physical sciences generally, increasing the scientific return of the SDO mission. This work is a deliverable of the 2018 NASA Frontier Development Lab program.

The dataset is available through the Stanford Digital Repository:

The AIA and HMI data is split in to monthly files (XX is the 2-digit representation of the month), and EVE is provided as one file such as shown in the table below. This table corresponds to the 2010 data set.
