***** Disclaimer: These are Prelimanary Results. ***** 
Products subject to change due to 
 (a) improved computational methods, (b) bug fixes and (c) other factors.
Use with caution and make comparisons to data from other instruments.

There are about 10 PIPs. Each acquires ~380 images per second, i.e. ~1 billion per month.
Each PIP uses parallel processing onsite to produce data products comparable to those presented here.
This is the first compilation (rev. 2018.02.15) of all sites and is ~350Gb with ~220k files.
Compilation is about 85% complete. Work is proceeding to fill gaps. Revisions will be posted asap.

***** Notables *****
@Marquette: Daily Radar & PIP Browser. Particle Density on 2017\11\02 Shows Warm Front Passage.
@MPT-Canada: PIP was operational everyday during 2015. This is a Gold Star Performance!
