After launch the possibility of combining the two cameras will be explored.  . LineofsightMagneticField : The line-of-sight magnetic field, hmi.M*, is computed from the difference of the Doppler velocities observed in two circular polarizations, as was done for MDI. The fastest line-of-sight observing cadence is 45 seconds ([http://jsoc.stanford.edu/ajax/lookdata.html?ds=hmi.M_720s hmi.M_45s]) in which twelve 4096*4096 filtergrams from the HMI Doppler camera are combined, one in each circular polarization at each of six wavelengths. A lower noise version ([http://jsoc.stanford.edu/ajax/lookdata.html?ds=hmi.M_720s hmi.M_720s]) is calculated every 720s using selected filtergrams from nine 135s vector field sequences from the other HMI camera.

 . Magnetic line-of sight velocity
Data will be exported in a variety of coordinate systems: Bx,By,Bz, B_r,gamma,phi, and Br,Btheta,Bphi
 . VectorMagneticField : The vector magnetic field, hmi.B*, is computed from Stokes parameters derived from an independent set of polarized filtergrams. The basic vector field observing cadence is 135 seconds and uses images from HMI's Magnetic camera. The 36 filtergrams measure six polarization states, I plus or minus Q,U,and V, at the same six wavelengths. All filtergrams are corrected for instrumental effects and interpolated to the proper time. Most analysis is done with weighted averages computed every 720s using data collected over 1215 seconds (nine 135s intervals). The processing happens in three steps. First Stokes parameters ([http://jsoc.stanford.edu/ajax/lookdata.html?ds=hmi.S_720s hmi.S_720s]) are computed. Then a Milne-Eddington inversion is performed to determine the field and other plasma parameters ([http://jsoc.stanford.edu/ajax/lookdata.html?ds=hmi.ME_720s_fd10 hmi.ME_720s_fd10]). Finally disambiguation is performed to determine the field angles (TBA, preliminary data at [http://jsoc.stanford.edu/ajax/lookdata.html?ds=hmi.B_720s_e15w1332_CEA hmi.B_720s_e15w1332_CEA]).

=== HMI Active Region Patches ===

A HARP (short for HMI Active Region Patch) is an enduring, coherent magnetic structure at the size scale of a solar active region. The primary purpose of the HARP data series is to provide the practical geometric information needed to follow an evolving region as it crosses the solar disk. A HARP is initially identified automatically in a sequence of HMI line-of-sight magnetograms. HARPs are typically observed over several days (possibly as long as a disk passage) and tracked from one image to the next. At each time step, the rectangular HARP bounding box is provided and a BITMAP that characterizes the pixels of the HARP is recorded. The bounding box encloses the maximum heliographic extent of the region during its life time. The BITMAP indicates which pixels in the box are part of the HMI active region patch and can be applied to an HMI image. Keywords provide summary information about the patch (e.g. the total line-of-sight magnetic flux) as well as geometric and heliographic specifics.

The HARP information is being used to determine regions of interest for vector field inversion processing, both for past data (hmi.ME_720s_fd10) and for near real time processing (hmi.ME_720s_fd10_nrt). Near real time HARPs (hmi.Mharp_720s_nrt) are a little different than definitive HARPs because the entire history or each region is not known; NRT and definitive HARP numbers differ.

See ["HARPDataSeries"] for details.

HMI Magnetic Field Products

http://jsoc.stanford.edu/data/hmi/images/latest/HMI_latest_Mag_256x256.gif

There are four basic types of magnetic field products described below.

Some data products suitable for space weather applications are available in near real time (nrt). Such data products always have nrt in the series name.

More details are provided at LineofsightMagneticField, VectorMagneticField, SynopticMaps, ["HARPDataSeries"], and SpaceWeatherProducts.
