Comparing to existing SZ cluster catalogs from experiments

1. Which existing cluster catalogs should we get?
2. Should this be just real-sky data or should we also get simulated benchmarks like the WMAP/NASA site ones?
3. I think this task would involve the following subtasks
   4. download big data sets
   5. convert to a standard format for our purposes, like h5 probably
   6. store in the Fermilab cloud for ease of use by anyone

1. This depends on which experiments we are claiming to simulate; ACT-like data will be compared to ACT, SPT-like to SPT
2. Not yet decided
3. In the case of Y-M distributions I agree, if we are doing a smaller number of submap-only tests for image plotting I'm not sure the data sets will be large.
   5,6) If the simulations and real data are already publicly available I do not think we need to convert them to additional data formats and post them again for the public
