2.3.2 spase://NASA/NumericalData/POLAR/UVI/K0_CDF Polar Ultraviolet Imager, Key Parameters 2021-04-27T15:38:11Z The Ultraviolet Imager (UVI) is a small camera that detected and produced images of the ultraviolet light of the aurora, day and night. Key Parameter (KP) images are calculated at nominal 5-10 minute intervals at spacecraft altitudes above 6 Re. The UVI KP image is background subtracted and calibrated to radiance values (photon cm^-2 cm^-1). The data is a rectangular two-dimensional array (228 rows x 200 columns). Only a circular region of the rectangular array contains valid image data. The UVI KP Image Archive (http://tideuvira.nsstc.nasa.gov/uvi/kpgs-Data.htm) allows the user to look at all the KP Mosaics for a selected month. The gif or png plot files contain the up to 35 KP images taken with the LBHL filter. Reference images are also provided showing the location of the UVI field of view relative to continental outlines. spase://SMWG/Person/George.K.Parks PrincipalInvestigator spase://SMWG/Person/Peggy.Sloan MetadataContact spase://VMO/NumericalData/POLAR/UVI/K0_CDF spase://VSPO/NumericalData/POLAR/UVI/K0_CDF spase://SMWG/Repository/NASA/GSFC/SPDF/CDAWeb Online Open FTPS from SPDF (not with most browsers) ftps://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/data/polar/uvi/uvi_k0/ HTTPS from SPDF https://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/data/polar/uvi/uvi_k0/ In CDF via HTTP from SPDF CDAWeb https://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eval2.cgi?dataset=PO_K0_UVI&index=sp_phys PO_K0_UVI CDF spase://SMWG/Repository/NASA/GSFC/SPDF Online Open CDAWeb HAPI Server https://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/hapi PO_K0_UVI Web Service to this product using the HAPI interface.

In some cases parameters such as pointing and calibration were not be adequate to support quantitative scientific analysis. They should not to be used for presentation, publication, or analysis. The UVI KP CDF files only contain output for normal instrument mode when the spacecraft is in 9.2 second science telemetry mode. No Key Parameters are produced when the spacecraft is in maneuver telemetry mode, when UVI is in star (fast) mode, and when the despun platform is pointed away from the earth. FUV Image IMAGE_DATA Far Ultraviolet Image - 8 degree full width (228 x 200 pixels) The UVI field of view is circular with an 8 degree full width. The circular image is stored in IMAGE_DATA as a rectangular array of 228 rows and 200 columns. Consequently, the corners of each image contain non-image data. The non-active corner pixel locations are identified by a corner fill value = -128. The image is oriented such that the direction of decreasing row number points along the spacecraft spin axis. The direction of decreasing column number points to the outboard direction (relative to the spin axis). The orientation is the same for both detectors. photon cm^-2 s^-1 228 200 Photon Integral Intensity Ultraviolet 125 190 nanometers 1304 filter 125 135 1356 filter 128 142 LBHS filter 135 160 LBHL filter 160 190 SOLR filter 175 190 Time Line Epoch Image time.

A gap is defined if the time between records is greater than twice the nominal output time (NOMINAL_OUTPUT_PERIOD). The following values are defined for POST_GAP_FLAG: O = No Gap; 1 = Wrong Mode; 2 = Missing Data; 3 = Noisy Data; 4-9 = undefined; 10 = High voltage not enabled; 11 = gain set to zero; 12 =The first minor frame containing UVI housekeeping was zero filled 13 = Unable to sync with telemetry stream; 14 = No background images were present; 15 = Requested filter setting was not present; 16 = Spacecraft was near perigee pass where no kp's are generated; 17 = Despun platform was pointing away from the earth; 18 = Image data lay outside requested process window (Not used for production); 19 = Unknown. Note that long gaps may be caused by multiple events. POST_GAP_FLAG attempts to represent the most severe event contributing to the gap. Also, since each image frame requires a minimum of 4 major frames (36.8 s) very short values of NOMINAL_OUTPUT_PERIOD on the order of 1 minute may always encounter a gap since the desired images may be several minutes apart. This condition is not trapped and will result in an unknown value for the post gap flag. 0 19 -2147483648 Other Quality Flag QUALITY_FLAG Bit-mapped quality indicator. QUALITY_FLAG is a bit-mapped flag in which each bit corresponds to a single quality condition. The most significant bit (minus sign) is not used. Consequently up to 31 different quality conditions can be simultaneously flagged. The flags are ordered in severity with increasing bit position. The following _hexadecimal_ values have been defined for QUALITY_FLAG: 0 = No errors or quality conditions; 1 = an error occurred writing an SFDU comment; 2 = image time was outside of selected processing window; 4 = some level zero minor frames had fill values; 8 = some level zero minor frames had sync errors; 10 = the image single frame integration period could not be determined due to bad telemetry (assumed to be 4 major frames); 20 = the despun platform was in motion or had not settled down from a motion; 40 = the pointing calculations have not been validated or may be unreliable; 80 = the time flags for this image may be unreliable; 100 = there was an error decode star mode data; 200 =some major frames were missing but an image could be partially reconstructed; 400 = calibration data is missing or otherwise invalid; 800 = a background image could not be found; 1000 = the requested output image could not be found. 0 2147483647 -2147483648 Other Nominal Time Between Records NOMINAL_OUTPUT_PERIOD Nominal time between output records.
