NRAO Archive and Pipeline Processing Interface

Detailed documentation is available on our Confluence page.

Overview

The NRAO archive system allows people to download raw data and advanced SRDP radio astronomical observation data products made using NRAO-affiliated instruments: The Very Large Array (VLA), the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) as well as the the Green Bank Telescope (GBT).

Components

This system has several subsystems which have their own subsystems. The two primary systems are:

• The archive which stores data products
• The workspace system which allows users to retrieve data products and transform them into other products

The pieces are broken down into applications (both web-based and command-line), RESTful services and shared libraries.
