Owens of NASA for continuous support throughout the development of the SOT. Hinode is a Japanese mission developed and launched by JAXA/ISAS, with the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan as domestic partner and NASA and Science and Technology Facilities Council (UK) as international partners. It is operated by these agencies in cooperation with the European Space Agency and Norwegian Space Centre (Norway). The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by NSF. The referee's comments greatly helped us to improve the manuscript, especially for the paragraph of interpretations and discussions.
