What is an SCF?
The SCF (Science Computation Formulation) is a mechanism that provides for the creation of new data products from an existing primary data set (IDFS) through algorithmic manipulation. In some cases, these derived products may be dependent upon values returned from a single instrument; in other cases, the derived products are dependent upon values taken from many instruments. For a more in-depth explanation of the SCF system, the user is referred to the paper entitled “The Science Computation Formulation System”.
