EIS 2023 calibration

[andyto1234]

Sorry this might be very dumb on my side.

I briefly remembers the eispac code uses Warren et al. 2014 to calibrate the files? Is there a place this is specified? I think adding the ability/tutorial to use different calibrations (e.g. the latest Del Zanna et al. 2023) could be extremely useful.

Edited (April 3 2024): I created a python implementation of the calibrations (Warren et al. 2014 and Del Zanna et al. 2023 in review). You can find the tutorial in the following link.

Hello Andy,
This is very good question! EISPAC actually currently only has the pre-flight calibration available, unfortunately. However, the one of the goals is to eventually have the level-1 HDF5 files serve as a long-term archive of EIS data and associated metadata. As such, we are planning to update the files in the next few months to include all of the the calibrations currently available. The 2023 calibration is still going through peer-review, so we are waiting a little bit to make sure we do not need to revise or update the methodology further before we reprocess all the header files. Sorry it has taken so long!

Hi Micah!
Thank you for the clear reply! :D
I am trying to stick with eispac for my current project. In that case I will think of a way to calibrate data on my side before the official release!
Let me know if I can be of any help!

Thought I will keep the thread updated with this.

I translated the IDL calibrations (Warren et al. 2014 and Del Zanna et al. 2023 in review) into Python (pretty much a 1 to 1 translation). You can find the tutorial in the following link.
