Its basic algorithm and quality evaluation method are presented in Ikegawa and Horinouchi (2016), and a further improvement and the data screening method are described in Horinouchi et al (2017). The data in this directory are an extended data product after Horinouchi et al (2018). Please read the paper for the parameter settings. == See also Previous release: ../uvi_20181010_Horinouchi2018/ == References If you write a paper by using the data, we hope that the following three papers and the data set are cited: - Ikegawa, S., and T.
