This document proposes methods for managing and analyzing large datasets, specifically for scientists working with continuous data streams. It suggests creating a directory file to allow faster retrieval of data based on time and date. The document also describes an efficient data reduction method to condense the amount of data stored while minimizing information loss. Several examples are provided of scientists analyzing anomalies in temperature readings from spacecraft to identify problems. Graphs and figures illustrate temperature variations over time and the ability of the proposed methods to quickly locate specific data points for further examination.
