This describes the typical FITS header information that the program "regress_plane_calc.c" and "regress_plane_calc_eikonal.c" requires.
| BITPIX = 16 | requires that the pixel values be integers |
| NAXIS = 4 | the input must be in this form with real and imaginary components held in the fourth dimension |
| BSCALE | is the scaling of the pixel values |
| DAXIS1 | is the spatial scaling of the pixels in the x-direction in units of Solar radii |
| DAXIS2 | is the spatial scaling of the pixels in the y-direction in units of Solar radii |
| DAXIS3 | is the scaling of the pixels in the nu-direction in units of Hertz |
| DAXIS4 | is the scaling of the pixels in the fourth-dimension |
| OBS_L0 | is the longitude that SOHO-MDI is observing at the time of the midpoint observation of the datacube |
| OBS_B0 | is the latitude that SOHO-MDI is observing at the time of the midpoint observation of the datacube |
| REF_L0 | is the central longitude of the datacube |
| REF_B0 | is the central latitude of the datacube |
| X0 | is where the REF_L0 and REF_B0 are located in the x-direction in pixels. |
| Y0 | is where the REF_L0 and REF_B0 are located in the y-direction in pixels. |
| TIME0 | is the time of the beginning of the observation |
| DTIME | is the total duration of the observation in seconds |
| Z1 | is the frequency of the first frame in Hertz |
