solar-dynamics-observatory
A Python library to download and analyze data from the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).
This library uses the Sunpy package to download the images and the aiapy package to align and prepare the images to be ready for scientific analysis.
While this package uses Sunpy to download the data, it does not represent SDO
images as instances of
sunpy.map.Map,
it represents images using named_arrays.FunctionArray.
Installation
This package is published on PyPI and can be installed using pip
pip install solar-dynamics-observatory
