Leader: Andrzej Fludra - Trapped Waves, CDS only, Long-duration raster sequence over coronal hole on limb. - Olso Active Region Loop Campaign -- Currently CDS only.. others want to join?? Semi-regular runs in June/July. Leaders: Olav Kjeldseth-More and Paal Brekke. Regular observation of AR loops above the limb. - Olso Sunspot Campaign -- Currently CDS only.. others want to join?? Semi-regular runs in June/July. Leaders: Olav Kjeldseth-More and Paal Brekke. Regular observation of sunspots. Submodes: Monday 00:00 UT -- Tuesday 18:15 UT --> Submode 5 Tuesday 18:15 UT -- Sunday 24:00 UT --> Submode 6 Planners for Week 24: CDS -- Terje Fredvik MDI -- Julia Saba EIT -- Jeff Newmark SUMER -- Harry Warren (til Tuesday). LASCO -- Ops Team UVCS -- John Raymond TRACE -- Charles Kankelborg Other Relevant Notes: ---------------------- CDS -- Oslo active region loop campaign late Tuesday and Sunday in addition to aforementioned JOPs. SUMER -- Active region limb studies. Will operate until 17 UT on Tuesday. Then will close door. LASCO -- C2 and C3 synoptics continue. UVCS -- High priority star calibrations and flat-fielding activities prior to maneuver: 121 and Zeta Tau. Then continue He focusing cone studies. EIT -- 195A CME watch and synoptics continue. MDI -- Active region studies, full disk campaign to catch sunspots outside of the high resolution field-of-view. TRACE -- see plan at: http://icarus.physics.montana.edu/TRACE/planning/strawman19990615.jpg Mainly aforementioned JOPs in calendar and synoptic program. --- end minutes
