SOI Data Programs - prog:mdi_ground
The data in this program are derived from test observations made with the
Michelson Doppler Imager, in various states of development, operating at
Lockheed Palo Alto Research Laboratories primarily.
These data are provided strictly for purposes of instrument analysis,
testing and software development. In the unlikely event of their suitability
for scientific analysis, such use must be approved by the SOI project.
Available Processing Levels
For a general description of processing levels within the SOI database,
see the SOI Datasets description.
- raw: In some cases, these are the raw telemetry files as captured
by the instrument simulator operating software. In other cases they are
raw files captured from the instrument or the camera directly by the
support computers.
Associated Data Series: (see Available
Data Series section for descriptions)
- level0: raw data converted to image or table files
Associated Data Series: (see Available
Data Series section for descriptions)
- level1: None of the archived ground data have been formally
calibrated.
Available Data Series
There is a plethora of data series names, each corresponding to a particular
test sequence. The data series names are numbered more or less sequentially,
and grouped somewhat arbitrarily into several large collections with 3-letter
designations corresponding to the times at which the data were taken. Although
the division of the data into these collections is not particularly meaningful,
they are preserved here for historical reason and for the sake of restricting
the scope of data queries.
