A powerful tool for browsing quick-look data in solar-terrestrial physics: “Conjunction Event Finder”

The “Conjunction Event Finder (CEF)” is a Web tool for seamlessly browsing quick-look (QL) data from many different kinds of satellites and ground-based instruments in solar-terrestrial physics. The QL plots are generally scattered all over the world, so that browsing many of them is so far very troublesome and inefficient. Just a simple procedure on the CEF, however, generates a collection of links to the QL plots for a period of interest, allowing us to check the data much more efficiently than ever. Hence this tool is powerful in finding interesting events of conjunction observations by satellites and ground-based instruments. The CEF is available in the Data ARchives and Transmission System (DARTS) at Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in Japan.
