mdi.fd_Ic_30s

Description

Intensity of the computed continuum from 30-second observations in full-disc mode, sampled at seconds 00 and 30. Although 30-second observations are regularly acquired at second 00 during campaigns, this series is only populated during minutes in which continuum intensity data were acquired during both halves of the minute. The data are acquired in either linear or circular polarization, typically alternating.

There is one record per 30 sec during hours when there are any images, to assure continuity of certain ancillary data. Records for which there is no image (fill records) have the high-order bit of the QUALITY keyvalue set, and have DATAVALS = 0. Approximately 17% of the records are fill.

Coverage / Duty Cycle

The fraction of possible time intervals containing partial or complete images during each mission phase is as follows:
<1996.04.20
(Record count only)
1996.04.20 – 1996.05.22 1996.05.23 – 1998.06.24 1998.10.20 – 1998.12.21 1999.02.03 – 2010.09.14 2010.09.14 – 2011.04.12 >2011.04.12
(Record count only)
Partial 00 .005 0 0 00
Complete 00 .004 0 0 00
Most of the data were obtained during the following campaign intervals: Additional data were taken as part of very brief test/validation sequences only at the following times: Superseded records: 0 in addition to 13337 valid.
