Columns

Sorted alphabetically. [Sort by DB column index]

NameTable Head DescriptionUnitUCD
fl_class Fl_class GOES classification of the flare. Typically we evaluate flares equal or above C-class. N/A meta.code.class
fl_endtime Fl_endtime (jd) End time of the flare. d time;time.end
fl_issuetime Fl_issuetime (jd) Issue time of the flare detection (Evaluation time of the flare by the SIDC forecaster.). d time
fl_latitude_stonyhurst Fl_latitude_stonyhurst Latitude of the flare location in degrees using Stonyhurst coordinates. deg pos.bodyrc.lat
fl_locationevaluation_time Fl_locationevaluation_time (jd) Time of the location estimation for the SIDC flare. In certain cases it is equal to the peak time, e.g. when the SIDC forecaster manually creates the flare using AIA images. d time

fl_operatorid Fl_operatorid ID of the operator N/A meta.id
fl_peaktime Fl_peaktime (jd) Peak time of the flare. d time;stat.max
fl_starttime Fl_starttime (jd) Start time of the flare. d time.start
granule_gid Granule_gid Unique identifier for the flare (SIDC Flare number). N/A meta.id
granule_uid Granule_uid Unique identifier for the individual evaluation of this specific SIDC flare. N/A meta.id
