	The HEO acronym indicates satellites in a Highly Elliptical Orbit, also known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molniya_orbit Molniya orbits]. These orbits have period of roughly 12 hours, with a perigee of no more than a few hundred kilometers, apogee of roughly 7 Re, and an inclination of about 63 degrees. The three HEO spacecraft are referred to as HEO-1, HEO-2, and HEO-3 or F1, F2, and F3, meaning flights 1-3. Because science is not the primary mission of the host vehicle, many of the details on the HEO spacecraft cannot be released at this time.

= About =
This is the IRBEM-LIB project ("irbem"). IRBEM-LIB provides routines to compute magnetic coordinates for any location in the Earth's magnetic field, to perform coordinate conversions, to evaluate geophysics/space-physics models, and to propagate orbits in time. This project was registered on SourceForge.net on Oct 13, 2008.

* '''All''': On 6/8/2011, the response function [http://irbem.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/irbem/docs/PRBEM_Response_Format.doc format specification] and [http://irbem.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/irbem/extras/rfl/ library] were updated to change the "XCAL" and "XCAL_RMSE" symbols to "CROSSCALIB" and "CROSSCALIB_RMSE" for consistency with the [http://irbem.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/irbem/docs/Standard_File_Format.pdf PRBEM Standard File Format]
* '''Users''': On 5/31/2011, a major fix has been applied to the make_lstar_splitting1 routine, which was previously not updating the starting location after the first point. Code and windows DLL have been updated.

New page

<center>ViRBO Developments</center>

This presentation is available at http://virbo.org/presentations

= Objectives =
* Summarize recent ViRBO develoments that may be of interest to RBSP.
* Obtain feedback on usefulness of developments.
* Solicit feature requests.

= Warning =

* I am going to go quickly through these slides
* There are many new topics covered
* You may follow the links in this presentation by going to
** http://virbo.org/presentations

= Metadata =

== Completed ==
* Observatory and instrument SPASE descriptions complete for RBSP.

== Pending ==

* Code to automate transform of CDF Metadata to SPASE NumericalData Records.
* Requires ISTP CDF files (I will get these through Bob McGuire).

== Other ==

Non-SPASE metadata/information management

* Anticipating need to manage non-SPASE metadata incl. bookmarks, vaps, etc.
* There are now 100s of Autoplot vaps, 10s of bookmark lists, and 10s of pngwalks "out there". I want to make these easy to find.

= Visualization =

== Note ==

* Three general use-cases for science visualiazation.
* No single application can be used for all. (Although some overlap.)
* There is a need for all three types of options.

== Update 1: New Autoplot Release ==

* Final beta testing of SPA announement for Autoplot. ([http://autoplot.org/spa Draft of Announcement]).
* New version comes with 10,000+ bookmarks ([http://autoplot.org/autoplot.jnlp?mode=basic&open=bookmarks:http://autoplot.org/bookmarks/heliophysics.xml try it])

This release introduces three types of bookmarks:

# '''Raw'''
#* Selecting a raw bookmark will result in an attempt at an automatic single-panel display of data from a given data provider.
#* Some GUI interaction may be required for some bookmarks.
# '''Special Views'''
#* Stylized plots using data from many data providers. For examples, see the ViRBO sub-folder.
#* List of (most) Special Views: http://virbo.org/gallery
#* To interact with data, [http://autoplot.org/autoplot.jnlp?mode=basic&open=bookmarks:http://autoplot.org/bookmarks/heliophysics.xml Start Autoplot] and select <code>Bookmarks->Heliophysics->ViRBO</code> (bookmarks take ~5 seconds to load).
#* Special Views are generally created by scientists using the Expert GUI mode and Raw Bookmarks and then contributed to ViRBO's Special Views repository.
#* A tutorial for creating special views will be presented at the Summer 2012 GEM workshop.
# '''Overviews'''
#* A data set for which the initial view is of the full time range of available data. Draw a box on a time range to zoom in on a specific time interval.
#* Overviews are available in Autoplot under the <code>ViRBO</code> bookmarks folder.
#* Overviews will eventually be available from a web browser (demo page: [http://virbo.org/overview]).

== Update 2. New Visualization Options ==

Introducing [http://viviz.org ViViz] (ViRBO Visualizations)

* Tools for browsing data in a web browser
* It is an out-growth of both a research project that needed visualization 1000s of images, each image with certain attributes [http://viviz.org/demo/Template2.html]

Two components:
# Gallery - browse pre-generated Special Views in web browser
# Overview - browse Overviews in web browser

== ViViz Gallery ==

* Multi-mode browse and sort stylized pre-generated images, each image covering short time range.
* Each image is pre-generated using an Autoplot Special View VAP configuration file
* Each image may have sortable attributes stored in a configuration file
* List of existing galleries: http://virbo.org/gallery
* Eventual interface: <code><nowiki>http://viviz.org/gallery.html#http://server/path/to/thumbnails</nowiki></code>

== ViViz Overview ==

* Drill-down browse of certain parameters over long time range.
* Uses [http://autoplot.org/ Autoplot] and [http://tsds.net/ TSDS] servers on the back-end.
* Under development. See [http://virbo.org/overview] for demo.

== What I need ==

Information:
* What types of galleries are of interest? Special Views?
* Sample CDF files (I will get these through Bob McGuire).
* Locations that you will store Autoplot bookmark and vap files. I want to make these searchable.
