Create daily text file containing values of radial pB intensity shown in daily GIF plot

[jburkepile]

Create a daily text file of values displayed in daily GIF plot of radial intensity. Text file should contain the following information:

yyyymmdd_hhmmss_kcor_radial_intensity.txt

This text file contains calibrated polarization brightness (pB) measurements in units of [B/Bsun] of the low corona taken by the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory K-Coronagraph (K-Cor) instrument. Each measurement is the azimuthally-averaged (i.e. averaged over all angles around the corona) pB measurement at the height indicated in the table. At low heights, the magnitude of the standard deviation is dominated by changes in the brightness between open and closed magnetic structures. In the outer field-of-view, the magnitude of the standard deviation is dominated by the noise level. The time of the observation is recorded in the filename: yyyymmdd_hhmmss_kcor_radial_intensity.txt, where yyyy=year, mm=month, dd=day, hh=hour, mm=minute, ss=seconds.

pB intensity      pB std. dev      Height
[B/Bsun]          [B/Bsun]     [from sun center in solar radii]
---------------   ------------     --------------  
3.9038e-07        1.3228e-07       1.05

continue printing pB intensity vs. height until the pB intensity falls below 10.^-09. Don't print values that are lower than 10^-09. The signal-to-noise is < 1; i.e. data are unreliable. This will keep the text file consistent with the gif plots since the plots do NOT record data that falls below 10^-9 B/Bsun
