Community Spectro-polarimetric Analysis Center (CSAC)

The Community Spectro-polarimetric Analysis Center (CSAC) is an HAO/NCAR Strategic Initiative that has its roots in HAO's long-standing expertise in the development of spectro-polarimeters and the interpretation of polarized radiation for remote sensing of magnetic fields in the Sun's atmosphere. CSAC provides a centralized access portal for Stokes polarization data (and derived data products) delivered by instruments with HAO participation. It also offers a comprehensive collection of manuals and tools for the manipulation, calibration, and analysis of spectro-polarimetric data, including data reduction and calibration, spectral line inversion, magnetic field disambiguation, and data visualization codes.
