Abstract

We report current status and future plans of processing, analysis methods, and visualization of large amounts of auroral data obtained with All-sky/Narrow field-of-view parallel imagers in Tromso Norway and Longyearbyen Svalbard. Observations of the parallel imagers started in October, 2010, and the optical data provide important information for various studies on auroral physics, as well as other in-situ and ground-based data such as European incoherent scatter (EISCAT) radars. We have developed several methods of data processing and visualization of the auroral database in order to find valuable auroral data among the abundant data. This experience can be applied to development of a global network aurora observation system using automated imagers with high sensitivity in the future.
