Associated Platforms SOHO Spectral/Frequency Information Wavelength Keyword: Ultraviolet Number Channels: 1 Spectral/Frequency Coverage/Range: 676.8 nm Spectral/Frequency Resolution: 0.01 nm Related Data Sets View all records related to this instrument Description The Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) is a project of the Stanford-Lockheed Institute for Space Research and is a joint effort of the Solar Oscillations Investigation (SOI) in the W.W. Hansen Experimental Physics Laboratory of Stanford University and the Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory of the Lockheed-Martin Advanced Technology Center. The MDI is flown on the Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). The Michelson Doppler Imager is capable of making a wide range of observations within the constraints imposed by the instrument design, by telemetry availability, and by the limits associated with the running observing programs. This page summarizes the instrument observables and the nature of the observing programs. It is intended to provide sufficient background for potential proposers of research investigations involving either special observations or the analysis of standard program observations. For a full description of the instrument capabilities and mission observing plans, see The Solar Oscillations Investigation - Michelson Doppler Imager (Scherrer et al., Solar Physics. in press).
