Abstract
The Vector Spectromagnetograph (VSM) instrument has recorded
photospheric and chromospheric magnetograms daily since August 2003. Fulldisk
photospheric vector magnetograms are observed at least weekly and, since
November 2006, area-scans of active regions daily. Quick-look vector magnetic
images, plus X3D and FITS formated files, are now publicly available daily. In
the near future, Milne-Eddington inversion parameter data will also be available
and a typical observing day will include three full-disk photospheric vector
magnetograms. Besides full-disk observations, the VSM is capable of high temporal
cadence area-scans of both the photosphere and chromosphere. Carrington
rotation and daily synoptic maps are also available from the photospheric magnetograms
and coronal hole estimate images.
