THE HEliophysics ARchives user group (HAUS)

ESA supports cutting-edge Heliophysics research worldwide thanks to missions like Solar Orbiter, Cluster, SOHO, Ulysses, Proba-2, ISS-Solaces and soon Proba-3 and SMILE. The ease of retrieving high-quality data from the online archives of these missions contributes to their scientific success. These archives serve the scientific communities in Europe and worldwide with the best calibrated data, value added data products, and visualization services. Some of these archives also include documentation in the form of user guides and calibration reports. In order to better serve the needs of the heliophysics scientific communities, ESA has established a Heliophysics Archives USers group (HAUS). Members of the HAUS group are appointed for two years.

 

ScOPE and Objectives

The HAUS group advises ESA, providing suggestions and recommendations in the following areas:

  • Review of individual archives to identify shortcomings or missing functionality;
  • Suggest inclusion in the archives of data not currently served but related to the missions;
  • Advise on the main functionalities of a future web service linking the Heliophysics archives and the Planetary Science Archive;
  • Identify the most important functionalities of a future overarching multi-missions Solar Archive (e.g. combining data from Solar Orbiter, SOHO, PROBA-2, ISS-SOLACES and the upcoming Proba-3 mission).
  • Review the development of the overarching Heliophysics web services activities to ensure that they best meet the needs of the user community within the available resources.
  • Participate in the peer review of applications for the Archival Research Visitor Programme
