GONG Farside Helioseismic Mapping Project: Release of Upgraded Data Products

 NISP has released an upgraded version of the data products generated by the improved farside helioseismic mapping pipeline (GONG Farside Maps), which utilizes full disk GONG Dopplergrams This upgradation incorporates substantial improvement to the pipeline, addressing long standing issues and implementing new strategies throughout the workflow. Several new data products are now available to better serve the broader community.

Data products from the previous pipeline (hereafter the Legacy pipeline) will continue to be produced through the end of this calendar year to support direct comparison. All products are accessible through the link above as well as on the GONG data download page.

The figure below compares the seismic signatures of magnetic activity on the far side of the Sun as computed using the Legacy pipeline (top panel) and the upgraded pipeline (bottom panel). In the Legacy pipeline, regions of strong magnetic field appear as dark areas. In contrast, the upgraded pipeline provides more detailed information: the farside maps are shown with a dark background, high magnetic field regions appear as bright features, and the frontside magnetograms are displayed in grayscale. The identified farside active regions and their probabilities of appearing on the East limb are marked by circles in both versions of the pipeline.
