SunToday Figure Generation Library

This repository contains the code to generate the figures for the SunToday webpage.

This includes:

• The AIA JPEGs in 4k and 1k resolution without magnetic field lines.
  • 131
  • 1600
  • 1700
  • 171
  • 193
  • 211
  • 211 - 193 - 171
  • 304
  • 304 - 211 - 171
  • 335
  • 94
  • 94 - 335 - 193
• The HMI JPEGS in 4k and 1k resolution without magnetic field lines.
  • 171 - B_LOS
  • B_LOS
  • Continuum
• The combination of the AIA lightcurves with GOES.

In future if we want to add movie support it will need to produce the following:

24HR movies:

• 304‑211‑171 | 94‑335‑193 | 211‑193‑171 | 171‑B(los)

304-171 movies:

• 0‑6UT | 6‑12UT | 12‑18UT | 18‑24UT

211-193-171 movies:

• 0‑6UT | 6‑12UT | 12‑18UT | 18‑24UT

211-193-171 running-ratio movies:

• 0‑6UT | 6‑12UT | 12‑18UT | 18‑24UT

This is set up to run on a docker container. Mount points are configured by the docker-compose.yml file. The images are updated on a 10-minute cadence.

Setup

• Copy the relevant environment file to .env and update any values as required.
• Add the correct path to the mounted drive where to store the outputs in docker-compose.yml.
• Install docker and docker-compose
• Create database volume

docker volume create pgdata

• Build images

docker-compose build

• Up the container

docker-compose up

Tests

Runs are run via tox which you will need to install into your Python environment. You can find them by running:

$ tox -l
py
py-figure
py-figure-generate
codestyle

The first one (py) will run all of the tests with the Python version you are using. The second one (py-figure) will run the figure tests and check the hashes to the PNGs stored in the repository. The third one (py-figure-generate) will generate the test PNGs stored in the repository. Final one (codestyle) is a check for the automated coding tools.

Future Work

1. Add PFSS fieldlines
2. Add movies
