Process

Studying moving BSEs implies that I should study movies, and that is precisely what I did.

Creating movies in IDL: a 4-step process

  • Transferring data from magnetic tapes to hard disk
  • Organizing the data on hard disk
  • Burning the data onto CD-R
  • Using the CD-R and a computer program written by Patricia Jibben to create a movie in IDL.

    Afterwards:

  • Study (view) the movie
  • Record times and locations for all the BSEs

    Criteria:

    BSE movie: Jan 06 1856-1925 18:57 (85,50); 19:00 (175,50); 19:21 (110,180)
    Quiet movie: Nov 13 0201-0225
    Bad movie: Nov 11 1910-1936
