SDO/HMI - Debrecen Sunspot Data (HMIDD)
Images are available by courtesy of NASA/SDO and the AIA, EVE, and HMI science teams.Győri, L., Baranyi, T., Ludmány, A.
The aim of this project is to produce space-borne sunspot databases with hourly time resolution and user-friendly tools by using the images of HMI
on board NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).
Data and Image Products: (All ftp)
Additional tables: tilt angles
of sunspot groups derived from SDO.

to see the explanation to the "Study tool of sunspot groups" available inside the graphical presentation at the link “See sunspots with tool" below the images in the pages of sunspot groups.
This simple tool is useful to study positions and polarities of sunspots by completing the sunspot group images in that page with additional images in high resolution and polarity drawings.
Note: The assignment of spots to sunspot groups is processed with an automatic method. This method is mainly based on the information on sunspots and sunspot groups listed in DPD. That spot which is not included into DPD is assigned to the closest group of DPD if their distance is smaller than 5 degrees. If there are no DPD groups within this distance, the spot or the cluster of nearby spots is assigned to a newly created sunspot group with a name created from an existing NOAA active region number by adding a previously not used letter to it.
