Abstract

Since May 1996, the SOHO/EIT daily synoptic observing plan has included at least one full-resolution full-disk image in each EIT bandpass: 171 Å (Fe IX/X), 195 Å (Fe XII), 284 Å (Fe XV) and 304 Å (He II/Si XI). Beginning July 1996, the nominal synoptic sequence has included several sets of half-resolution images in addition to the full-resolution images. These synoptic data sets are combined to make synoptic maps beginning at Carrington Rotation 1911. The synoptic maps at the solar meridian are generated in all four EIT wavelengths, using the same formalism as Yohkoh Soft X-ray Telescope synoptic maps. The off-limb maps at 1.05 and 1.10 solar radii are generated for the three coronal lines using the standard applied to coronagraph synoptic maps.
