STEREO-B Carrington Maps for SECCHI Cor1 Telescope

Carrington Maps summarize short and long-term coronal evolution from the STEREO mission. The resource contains limb and meridian maps from the Cor1, Cor2, HI1/2, and EUVI instruments for each Carrington Rotation since the mission began. Maps illustrate the corona's transition from a simple two-sectored structure to a complex multi-sectored one.

Use Cases

• Tracking coronal evolution over time based on Carrington Rotation maps
• Identifying associations between streamer belt distortions and solar active regions
• Analyzing long-term changes in the lower atmosphere based on EUVI meridian maps
• Studying the shape of the heliospheric current sheet from limb map discontinuities

Strengths

• Maps are available for each Carrington Rotation since the STEREO mission began
• Includes data from multiple instruments: Cor1, Cor2, HI1/2, and EUVI
• Organization is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
