Madrigal database at Jicamarca: upgrading and unifictaing our databases
Abstract
Several instruments utilized under different operation modes at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory (JRO) have allowed the study of the equatorial atmosphere and ionosphere for many years. Among others we have: the Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR), the Jicamarca Bistatic Radar (JBR), Magnetometer, Ionosonda and JULIA radar. All instruments generate a huge amount of information, either raw or derived data. Each operation mode has its own database and it can be freely accessed through the Internet by their respective link at: http://jro.igp.gob.pe/database/; the search options, graphics and visualization are different depending on the experiment. JRO is under a process of data server upgrading, both software and hardware. This includes the unification of existing databases in Jicamarca, improving the search tools, access and visualization. The first stage of this process involves the transfer of Madrigal tools to the server: http://jro1.igp.gob.pe/madrigal which has a better performance and greater security, including the addition of new data and experiments to Madrigal. In this work we describe the main features of our new designed database, as well as the improvements and new options added to Madrigal.
