rdfitc

Module Version
	1.0	23 IV 2010

General Description
	rdfitc implements the procedure of Basu and Antia (ApJ 512, 458;
	Solar Phys 192, 469) for fitting 3-d solar acoustic power spectra to
	a multi-parameter model for line and background characteristics

Status
	This version has been superseded by Version 1.1

	Included in JSOC release 5.9
	The source code and Makefile are in the JSOC CVS repository

	rdfitc_v10 is a compiled standalone DRMS binary built with NetDRMS 2.4
	to run in the JSOC configuration. Versions are in:
		~rick/bin/linux_x86_64/rdfitc_v10
		~rick/bin/rick/rdfitc_v10
	The source code and Makefile is in ~rick/src/ringfit/rdfitc

Usage
	rdfitc [-nvx2] in= InputDescriptor out= OutputDescriptor
	    [param= val ...]
	
Flags
	-n	no fitting (diagnostics only)
	-v	run verbose
	-x	extra reporting of number of iterations
	-2	calculate second derivatives explicitly

Parameters
	in		the name of an input data set (record selection); No default
	guessfile	Name of a file containing the initial frequency guesses;
			should be a rooted pathname. No default:
	out		Name of the output data series (or file)
			Default: fit.out
			The value of the out parameter is interpreted as the name of
			of a data series, and if such a series exists with insert
			permission, the output fit files and logs will be inserted as
			records in that series; otherwise, the value will be interpreted
			as the name of a file to which the fit parameters are written,
			and the log information goes to stderr.
	nmin		Minimum radial (vertical) order to fit. Default: 0
	nmax		Maximum radial order to fit. Default: 10
	lmin		Minimum equivalent spherical-harmonic degree to fit. Default: 80
	lmax		Maximum degree to fit. Default: 3000
	fmin		Minimum frequency to fit [μHz]. Default: 900
	fmax		Maximum frequency to fit [μHz]. Default: 7000
	bfgsct		Number of iterations for bfgs function.. Default: 125
	linminct	Number of iterations for linmim function.. Default: 15
	ux		Initial guess for zonal flow speed [m/s]. Default: 0.0
	uy		Initial guess for meridional flow speed [m/s]. Default: 0.0

Input Data series class:
	power spectra of data cubes

Input keys used or inspected:
	WCSNAME, CTYPE1, CTYPE2, CTYPE3, CUNIT1, CUNIT2, CUNIT3, CDELT1, CDELT2, CDELT3
	DELTA_K*, RSunRef, DELTA_NU*, D_OMEGA*, LOG_BASE

	* only if preferred keys not found

Sample input series:
	mdi.rdVpspec_dp
	hmi_test.rdVpspec_fd05
	hmi_test.rdVpspec_fd15
	hmi_test.rdVpspec_fd30

Output Data series class:
	ring diagram mode fits

Output keys set (if possible):
	CarrTime*, Module, Source, Created, BLD_VERS

	* if not propagated

Input keys propagated to output (if possible):
	CarrTime, CarrRot, CMLon, LonHG, LatHG, LonCM, MAI, MidTime, Duration,
	Cadence, LonSpan, T_START, T_STOP, Coverage, Size, Width, Height,
	MapProj, MapScale, Map_PA, PosAng, ZonalTrk, ZonalVel, MeridTrk, MeridVel,
	Apode_f, Apode_k_min, Apode_k_max, APODIZNG, APOD_MIN, APOD_MAX

Sample output series:
	mdi.rdVfitsc_dp
	hmi_test.rdVfitsc_fd05
	hmi_test.rdVfitsc_fd15
	hmi_test.rdVfitsc_fd30

Significant changes from Previous Version
	— Added numerous keywords to propagation list

	— Removed constraints on values of parameters A0, B1, and B2, so
	that fits are insensitive to power spectrum normalization

	— Changed defaults for run parameters nmax, lmin, and lmax to be more
	appropriate for HMI data

	— Added quality flag column to output

Bugs in current version
	The output column for δν (5) is labeled w_0 (and identical with
	column 19), since there is no formal uncertainty on the frequency.
	It should, however, be the uncertainty on w_0.

	The quality parameters sn (amplitude/background) and pk (the fit
	power-law exponent for ν(l) are not printed (simply because they
	were not included in the standard).

	If either of the flags -2x are given the output will not conform to
	the standard.
