STEREO-B Carrington Maps for SECCHI EUVI Telescope

Synoptic maps summarize short-term and long-term coronal evolution. The resource contains East and West limb maps from Cor1 and Cor2 coronagraphs, HI1/2-A/B imager maps, and central meridian maps from the EUVI telescope. Maps are available for each Carrington Rotation since the beginning of the STEREO mission.

Use Cases

• Analyze the evolution of the corona from a simple two-sectored to a complex multi-sectored structure based on limb maps.
• Study distortions and discontinuities in the streamer belt associated with active regions on the sun based on limb maps.
• Illustrate corresponding structures and long-term changes in the lower atmosphere based on EUVI meridian maps.

Strengths

• Maps are available for each Carrington Rotation since the beginning of the STEREO mission.
• Includes multiple map types: East and West limb maps from Cor1 and Cor2 coronagraphs, HI1/2-A/B imager maps, and EUVI central meridian maps.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
