IMPReSS: Observation Plot & Display

2	3
1

Frame 3 displays the plot and list of the observations found in your region from the selected missions.
The output includes:

Plot: The observation footprints are plotted here. The map is clickable: if you click on a point, only those observations that contain that point will remain.
Data access: Links to the data centers holding the actual data plotted. These links will deliver you from this site to the separate sites that archive the data. They offer information regarding:

Data products.
Missions/instruments.
Research support.
Observation list: Mission, coordinates, and date for each observation plotted

TO GO ON:
To see how map-clicking works, click on the blue IUE observation to see the list limited to the IUE and ASCA observations at that point. (Note: Since this is just an example, clicking the map anywhere will give you that result.)

Click on the data center links to see how to access browse images and the actual observations listed here. These examples are from external sites.

This is the end of the tutorial. You've gone from browsing an ADC catalog to the actual data sources in one sequence. Not bad, huh?

EXAMPLE BELOW

If you click on the map, only observations that include the position of the click will remain.
