  The SRPM system includes a set of tools and data for modeling the production of solar radiation.
 These include the use of imaging observations, at several wavelengths, for identifying the features present on the solar disk that are most important for the solar radiation. The synoptic maps use the most recent observations of the entire disk to produce a map of features and the corresponding "obsolescence map" indicating (approximately) how many days ago each point of the map was observed.
