Report on the Impact of the solar flare on the LWS instrument


The result of the quality check performed by the LIDT on the 4 LWS observations of revolution 722 is to recommend their re-scheduling.

The reasons are :

  1. For TDTs 72200510 & 72200615 (executed during the first half of the rev) no AAL product can be generated because of no illuminator data available (all ramps discarded by the de-glitching algorithm !)
  2. For TDTs 72200934 & 72201802 (performed during the second half) the pipeline completed successfuly but the glith rate is too high : only about 30 % of the data remained after the deglitching.
