| Abstract: |
Using the Gemini Observatory's own data abstraction, called AstroData, and the
Observatory's Recipe System pipeline framework, Gemini Observatory has developed
a Quality Assessment Pipeline or “QAP”, which operates as a near Real Time
pipeline producing measurable metrics vis-a-vis observational conditions. The
near-real time QAP is an operational tool used to ensure that programs
are being executed under conditions specified by the proposal. Metrics
produced by the QAP include Image Quality (IQ), Cloud Cover (CC), and Background
(BG). QAP components will report these generated metrics to a metrics database
hosted by the Observatory facility called, “fitsstore.” If available, an ancillary
application, the “adcc,” can receive metrics packets and display them on any
web browser. A reprocessing effort that generated metrics for the Gemini South
telescope from January, 2003 are also presented. |
