SOHO Daily Meeting Minutes for Wednesday, 27 March 2002
ANNOUNCEMENTS
-------------
* HESSI target for today is AR 9878, tomorrow's target is AR 9878
* Nice CDS observations of a C flare yesterday (see SOLAR STATUS section)
* PMI contractors are scheduled to perform preventive maintenance
on the 3UPS-20 on March 29 from 9:00 am until 4:30 pm. The UPS
unit will be in bypass and the load will be on commercial power
during this activity. No impact to operations is expected. 3UPS-20
supports SOHO, W/P, and XTE missions.
* Visitors will come to the EOF on Tuesday 2 April at 11am.

http://orpheus.nascom.nasa.gov/~thompson/planning/s24475.html
The first one has all frames scaled to the max intensity in each line,
the second one is scaled to the maximum in each frame and line.
Unfortunately, the impulsive phase of the flare was during RHESSI night.
