Pipeline Module Specifications

rdvinv

Module Version
	0.93	31 I 2019

General Description
	rdvinv performs an OLA inversion on a set of ring-fit parameters Ux and Uy
	for transverse velocity functions of depth.

	If output is to a named DRMS series, the module combines the output files
	corresponding to the input records selected into a single SUMS directory
	or a pair of directories, depending whether the output data series has
	one or two segments defined. If the output series has a single segment,
	all output files will be placed in its SUMS directory; otherwise, separate
	subdirectories for the uxseg and uyseg parameters will be created.
	In either case, the ouput inversion files will be named with extensions
	.Ux and .Uy. The filenames are constructed from the Carrington time,
	latitude and (Stonyhurst) longitude information for the records, e.g.
	2099:060.0_15.0E45.0S.Ux

	If values are provided for any combination of parameters cr, clon, lon, and
	lat, the module will select all records from the input record set or series
	matching the selected values.

Status

	Included in JSOC release 9.3
	In use for ring-diagram pipelines from 2019.01.31 – (CR 2213–)

	The source code and Makefile are in the JSOC CVS repository
	This version supersedes Version 0.92

Sample output series:
	hmi.rdVflows_fd15_frame
	hmi.rdVflows_fd30_frame

Changes from Previous Version
	Much internal reorganization, including elimination of Fortran functions,
	moving processing of kernel file to separate function only called once.

	Modified options for optional writing of averaging kernel and inversion
	coefficient files so that files corresponding to each output records are
	written into the named directories; changed meaning of the corresponding
	parameters kernel and ave; modified the format of the files.

	Slightly modified the format of the output files (just the header lines).

	Added parameters nmax and lmax.

	kernel parameter can be specified as a DRMS record as well as by a filename.

Bugs in current version:
	The mode weeding for abnormal values of Ui is only applied to modes of order
	n <= 8; all higher-order modes are rejected. The rejection criteria in the mode
	weeding algorithm are hard-coded. Because of this, specification of a value
	greater than 8 for parameter nmax is not permitted, the value will be reduced
	to 8, and a warning message issued. Note that this will always occur if the
	default value of 14 is used!

	If any of the parameters cr, clon, lon, and lat are specified, the input data
	must be in a DRMS series with the appropriate keywords CarrRot, CMLon, LonHG,
	and LatHG.

	It is not possible to restrict the DRMS input record set based on Stonyhurst
	longitude via a calling parameter, only via the recordset descriptor.

	When writing output to a DRMS series, there is no verification that the
	requested output segments have the correct protocol (generic); but it probably
	doesn't matter in any case.
