| GOES-R Series Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI) Level 2 Products |
 |
These SUVI Level 2 (L2) data are designed for use by the NOAA-NWS Space Weather Forecast
Office and include several different products: composite images, thematic maps, bright
regions, flare locations, coronal hole boundaries, coronal hole images, and fixed
and running difference images. The SUVI Composite Image product is a weight average
using the short and long exposures found in the SUVI Level-1b product to produce a
high-dynamic range image. SUVI Fixed Difference images use a set "reference" image
to produce difference images with respect to a particular event. SUVI Running Difference
images use the most recent data to produce difference images showing short-term changes
in the solar corona. The SUVI Thematic Map is a "mask" image that shows the automatically
classified solar features. Composite images, as well as fixed and running difference
images, are available in each of SUVI's six wavelengths. SUVI image products are available
as FITS files. The SUVI Coronal Hole Boundary product contains lists of the boundary
pixels in both image and heliographic coordinates for all coronal holes identified
in the SUVI Thematic Map. The SUVI Bright Region Report uses the SUVI Thematic Map
and SUVI Composite Image products to provide statistics on identified bright regions
on the Sun. The SUVI Flare Location Report provides locations and statistics on flares
identified by either the SUVI Thematic Map or the XRS Event Detection products. These
products, Coronal Hole Boundaries, Bright Region Report, and Flare Location Report,
are tabular data provided in netCDF-4 format. |
