A new data product from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard
the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) called Space-weather HMI Active Region
Patches (SHARPs) is now available. SDO/HMI is the first space-based instrument
to map the full-disk photospheric vector magnetic field with high cadence and
continuity. The SHARP data series provide maps in patches that encompass
automatically tracked magnetic concentrations for their entire lifetime; map
quantities include the photospheric vector magnetic field and its uncertainty,
along with Doppler velocity, continuum intensity, and line-of-sight magnetic
field. Furthermore, keywords in the SHARP data series provide several
parameters that concisely characterize the magnetic-field distribution and its
deviation from a potential-field configuration. These indices may be useful for
active-region event forecasting and for identifying regions of interest. The
indices are calculated per patch and are available on a twelve-minute cadence.
Quick-look data are available within approximately three hours of observation;
definitive science products are produced approximately five weeks later. SHARP
data are available at this http URL and maps are available in either
of two different coordinate systems. This article describes the SHARP data
products and presents examples of SHARP data and parameters.
