The header is a 256-string array which can be updated. As an example, some IDL commands to display type-B glitch are given below. Miscellaneous An interesting web page related to ISO glitches has been built by Petteri Nieminen. This page is a good starting point to get some data about the space weather, as measured by several flying spacecrafts. There are two main objectives for the on going work about glitches.
First objective is to improve the glitch removal methods.
Improvement of glitch removal methods should be possible by deriving proper statistics on individual glitches , in order to determine to which family they belong, and then predict their temporal and spatial behavior. Proton and heavy ions glitches can be easily removed from the observation by a filtering technique. The worst problem is the responsivity variation after the glitch, especially for heavy ions. A model of these effects is under investigation. The difficulty comes from the necessity of detecting glitches individually, in order to build these statistics first, then model their temporal behavior, and finally apply it to individually detected glitches .
