About the MIDL Project

MIDL Software Info

The software on this site is designed to provide analysis capability for multiple datasets in space physics. We are focused primarily on energetic particle data and magnetic field data, but are also expanding to plasma data as well. We deliver to the web in a mission-independent way the highest time resolution energetic particle data for several missions.

MIDL allows users to make simple plots of the data, but it also allows access to the actual data values themselves, which can be obtained in ASCII format.

Presentations about MIDL

MIDL started as a NASA grant through the Applied Information System Research Program. The goal was to create a mission-indepedent way to access energetic particle data, and we have also since expanded this to include other types of data as well, such as magnetic field data and plasma data.

The project has been presented at various meetings, such as the 2002 Fall AGU meeting. You may read our abstract for that presentation, and you may also download our poster. Other presentations include:

  1. An in-house presentation of MIDL (this one is a little old - the project was still called MIDF)
  2. A presentation given to the LWS Data Environment Committe in Fall 2002
MIDL - a project at the Space Department of the Applied Physics Laboratory, a component of Johns Hopkins University.
