Gold Level 1D Special Observation LBH Plots

ResourceID
spase://VSPO/DisplayData/GOLD/L1D/SP1_LBH/PT600S

Description

Level 1D SP1_LBH files contain LBH images. Separate files are created for Channel A and Channel B data. A new L1D file
is generated for each new L1C file. These can correspond to either the Northern or Southern hemisphere.
Combined file definition (image size = 1024 x 1024 pixels)

  • Header information (at the top of the set of 4 images)
  • Date of image
  • Time of image
  • File name
  • LBH band brightness map (in Rayleighs) integrates the signal from 137 to 154 nm.
