SOHO Daily Meeting Minutes for 30 March 1999 Chaired by: L. Roberts (S0C) Notes: K. Schenk (EIT) FOT Report ---------- Spacecraft Status: Nominal Spacecraft Anomalies: None Accomplished Activities: VIRGO, CELIAS Planned Activities: RSL, VIRGO, CELIAS, Extra VC2 (2000-2200) Upcoming Operations: 4/1 CDMU/ACU Memory Dumps (Overnight) TR Maintenance may be postponed until after continuous ops Ground Anomalies: 088/1432 - Command dropped during transmission (1 min delay) SOLAR STATUS ------------ SOLAR ACTIVITY FORECAST: SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY LOW. GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY FORECAST: THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE QUIET TO UNSETTLED. A HIGH SPEED STREAM COULD CONTINUE TO ELEVATE ACTIVITY MARCH 30-31. 3/29 DOY 088: 15:36 Rosette erupting prominence. Seen in C2 at 16:30 as a puff off North Pole. 18:54 Large CME in C2 in SSW, later in C3 at 22:15. 22:34, fast jet out of AR 8502 in EIT. Seen in C2 at 00:30 as a jet off the west limb. 3/30 DOY 089: 03:36 very slow CME staring above NW limb in EIT. Takes off in EIT at 09:48. Seen in C2 at 09:54 as a large CME in NW. Began with a fast jet in same area at 09:30 UT, later in C3 11:18 UT. 11:02 filament eruption in NE in EIT (Seen clearly in eit 304A image at 13:19) GOES activity very low 'B' class INSTRUMENT STATUS ----------------- CDS: Nominal. Sunspot observations with TRACE. Synoptics, then changing to Equatorial Coronal Hole studies. May change to the Flarewatch with TRACE then perform GIS engineering. SUMER: Not observing. UVCS: Nominal. Performed synoptics and the Jupiter/Galileo observation program. LASCO: Nominal. C2 and C3 synoptics while CME watching. C2 Jupiter observations 10:00-11:00 UT at 2.5 min cadence. EIT: Nominal. 195A CME Watch full field full res. MDI: Nominal. Continously performing Continuous Dynamics campaign. TRACE: Nominal. Flarewatch campaign at AR8502. Performed Sunspot study with CDS. Tommorrow the same. A.O.B. ------- Shuhurt Ehgamberdieu, the director of Uzbek Academy of Science, gave an informative talk and results of their ground-based observations with IRIS with comparisons to SOHO's GOLF.
