mdi.rwbin_Ld

Description

Line depth from either 30-second or 60-second observations in full-disc mode, swith constituent photograms at second 00 summed over a 25-min interval under a gaussian-like weighting function, binned by 8*8 pixels, and sampled once ever 12 minutes. The phasing of the sampling minute varies through the mission. The data are part of the MDI Structure Program, and are intended to be continuous throughout the mission.

There is one record every 12 minutes during times of instrument operation. Records for which there is no image (fill records) have the high-order bit of the QUALITY keyvalue set, and have DATAVALS = 0. Approximately 2% 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 0.763 .987*.916 .975 .869
Complete 0.750 .966*.901 .953 .860
*See Special Notes.

Data Storage

Data for each record are stored in a 2-dimensional 128*128 FITS image file, with up to 60 files per SUMS directory, typically representing the records for a half day. (A few days were ingested with a full day's data in a single SUMS directory.) Statistics of SUMS data storage: N.B. These statistics were computed prior to the ingestion of 20 days of data that had failed to be incorporated in SUMS. See Special Notes.

Special Notes

All SUMS data for the following 20 days were lost, probably due to failures of the ingest module to recognize SUMS failures; they must be reingested from the DSDS source series:
1997.07.23
1997.07.24
1997.07.25
1997.08.31
1997.09.02

1997.09.20
1997.11.10
1997.11.17

1997.11.19
1997.11.21
1997.11.22

1997.11.24
1997.11.25
1997.11.26
1997.11.27
1997.11.28
The original DSDS Source data for the six days 2007 Feb 13–15 and 2007 Feb 17–19 failed to be archived onto tape. Original source data for 2007 Feb 13–15 (sha.dsds[mdi][lev1.5][rwbin_Ld_01d][5156-5158]) were recomputed on 7 May 2014 and ingested into this series. The original source data for 2007 Feb 17–19 were evidently lost after having been ingested into this series on 5 June 2014, and have not been recomputed.
