Leibniz-Institute for Solar Physics is pleased to announce the launch of the Science Data Centre (SDC) to host large data volumes from ground-based solar telescopes. The first phase of the SDC is dedicated to the data generated by the German solar observatory in Tenerife Canary Islands. The long-term plan includes further development of the service platform for solar data from other large solar telescopes. By consolidating solar data on one platform of SDC, research in data science and using tools of Big Data analytics and artificial intelligence will become possible.
