This page shows the DSCOVR planned/scheduled and actual tracking from stations around the globe. Station scheduled tracking is shown as the solid, narrow horizontal bars. Actual tracking is shown as transparent, thicker horizontal bars. The current time is denoted by the black vertical line. Periods where no tracking occurred are indicated by the red horizontal bar on the bottom row.
Features:
Time spans of 1, 3, or 7 days can be displayed using the drop down menu centered just below the plot.
The no data bar can be made to extend to the height of the graph, using the 'No data:' drop down menu.
Under the 'X Axis:' dropdown, choosing Current Time will keep the current time in the center of the graph. Choosing UT time, will keep the beginning of the UT day on the left of the graph.
Placing the cursor over a tracking 'window' will indicate the expected data rate in kbps and whether ranging is planned.
Placing the cursor on either end of a planned window will also show the expected start/stop time of that tracking pass and will also show the times of data gaps when the cursor is placed over a gap.
Placing the cursor over a No Data block will show the start/stop times of the data gap.
The plot shows the status of Real Time Solar Wind (RTSW) data receipt from DSCOVR by individual station. It also shows the expected tracking coverage by station. In a change from the ACE version of this product, the bottom row shows gaps with the presence of a horizontal bar, whereas the ACE display showed a horizontal bar in the bottom row when data was available.
The tracking stations shown are:
- NICT: National Institute of Information and Communications Technology in Tokyo, Japan
- KSWC: Korean Space Weather Center in Jeju, Korea
- DLR: German Aerospace Center in Neustrelitz, Germany
- WCDAS: NOAA's Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Station in Wallops Island, Virginia
- FCDAS: NOAA's Fairbanks Command and Data Acquisition Station in Gilmore Creek, Alaska
- SWPC: NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado
- AFSCN-APL: United States Air Force Satellite Control Network stations in various locations around the globe (or the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory).
- NEN-DSN: NASA's Near Earth Network or Deep Space Network stations in various locations around the globe.
