The Medium-l Program of the SOI/MDI experiment is dedicated to the
nearly-continuous monitoring of the Doppler velocity field of the
visible solar hemisphere. The Medium-l data are transmitted though
the low-rate (5 kbps) telemetry channel of SOHO. It is this relatively
low bit rate which limits the spatial resolution of the Medium-l
observations. This low data rate also requires that some initial
processing of the original 1024x1024-pixel CCD full-disk
Dopplergrams be carried out on board the MDI instrument.
