9. The weighting function for the time average is derived from K. Libbrecht and H. Zirin, Astrophys. J. 308, 413 (1986) with weights equation presented where δt is the time difference from the central observing time, τ = 4 min is the half-width of the filter, and Δt = 9 min is the half-length of the filter.

39. GONG is managed by NSO, a division of NOAO that is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy under cooperative agreement with NSF. The data were acquired by instruments operated by the Big Bear Solar Observatory, High Altitude Observatory, Learmonth Solar Observatory, Udaipur Solar Observatory, Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias, and Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory.
