Your one stop to working with the world’s extensive arrays of auroral all-sky imagers (ASI).

Supported ASI arrays#

Note

While this package is named aurora-asi-lib, import it using the name asilib.

A geographic map showing the spatial coverage (field of view rings) of all imagers supported by aurora-asi-lib.

Top four panels are a collage showing an image from a THEMIS and REGO ASI in the fisheye and mapped formats. The bottom panel is a THEMIS ASI keogram from this time interval.

Acknowledgements#

asilib is not associated with the development and operations of all sky cameras, or the curation of ASI datasets. All data accessed by asilib is publicly available from the home institution responsible for the instrumentation. We recommend data users coordinate with instrument teams with regards to data issues and/or interpretation. Users are responsible to appropriately acknowledge the data sources they utilize. Required acknowledgements are contained in the descriptions of each instrument network.
