MorePITA - an automated Moreton wave detector
Abstract
Globally-propagating waves in the solar chromosphere (commonly called Moreton waves) have been observed for more than 50 years, but are typically identified and characterised by eye, leading to significant user bias. The Moreton Pulse Identification and Tracking Algorithm (MorePITA) is a new technique based on the Coronal Pulse Identification and Tracking Algorithm (CorPITA) but tuned to detect Moreton waves using ground based H-alpha observations. We present a preliminary analysis of two events observed by two different Hα telescopes (ISOON and GONG) and compare the results with the equivalent detections made by CorPITA applied to SDO/AIA observations.
