          CLEAN  [FirstPlane  [LastPlane]]  [/PLOT Clean|Residu] [/FLUX Fmin
    Fmax] [/QUERY]

    with METHOD = CLARK

    A Major-Minor cycles CLEAN method, originally developed by  B.Clark,  in
    which  clean components are selected using a limited beam patch, and de-
    convolved through Fourier transform at each major cycle. In mosaic  mode
    (See  command MOSAIC), a mosaic clean is performed. Rings and/or stripes
    may appear on extended sources.  Faster than the HOGBOM method for  sin-
    gle  fields  but  maybe  slower  for mosaics. The strategy to search for
    CLEAN components in CLARK method does not work properly  when  the  sec-
    ondary  side  lobes  are too large (e.g. larger than 0.3), or in case of
    high phase noise.
