Description

The Metis coronagraph aboard Solar Orbiter has been providing since its launch in 2020 unique data consisting of simultaneous observations of the solar corona in the visible-light band and in a UV narrow band centered on the H I Ly-alpha line.
We describe the various approaches employed to maximize the science return of Metis data. We discuss in particular the baseline science operations and its augmentation through coordinated observations with other spacecraft or facilities to obtain a multi-viewpoint data of solar events driving space weather phenomena. We also review the main tools employed to analyze the observations and outline the plans for making advanced level-3 Metis data available to the scientific community.
