ABSTRACT: In 1848 the Swiss astronomer Johann Rudolph Wolf introduced a daily measurement of sunspot number. His method, which is still used today, counts the total number of spots visible on the ...
ABSTRACT: The TIROS/NOAA satellite series, also known as POES, is designed to meet the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's need for operational, remote sensing products for numerical ...
ABSTRACT: Solid state detectors with pulse height discrimination measure proton, alpha-particle, and electron fluxes. E1 and I1 channels are responding primarily to trapped outer-zone particles. The ...
ABSTRACT: Ion chamber detectors provide whole-sun X-ray fluxes for the 0.5-to-3 (0.5-to-4 prior to GOES-8) and 1-to-8 Angstrom wavelength bands. The X-ray sensors may experience significant bremsstrahlung ...
The data from the Coronagraph/Polarimeter consist of digital images of the
solar corona taken through various filters at visible wavelengths.
The scientific objectives of the Coronagraph/Polarimeter ...
