Notes. We evaluate the quality of the compression for selected compression efficiencies (number of velocity bins n or quality factor q) by computing the correlation of the travel times with the travel times computed from uncompressed data, the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of the travel times for two wavenumbers (kR = 122 and kR = 221) and the file size of the Dopplergrams in bits/pixel (relative to the data with full spatial resolution) after applying the compression. The 2 × 2 subsampled data were interpolated back to the original resolution using Fourier interpolation for computing the correlations. Before determining the S/N, we averaged the power of the travel times from kR = 98−147 and kR = 196−245, respectively. Our measurement of the S/N for the uncompressed case has an uncertainty of about 2. The other error estimates are for differential S/N measurements relative to the uncompressed case.
