Description

The SDO/AIA Level 1.5 Synoptic FITS Data. The AIA Synoptic FITS data are reduced to 1024x1024 2.4 arc-sec pixels by summing with pixel value in DN per original 0.6 arc-sec pixel. The data cadence is 2 minutes. These images are produced approximately 7 days after T_OBS since they are derived from definitive level 1 data.
