WEEKLY MEETING MINUTES Week 03, January 17-23, 2000 1. Announcements ---------------- Party on Tuesday next week in SOHO EOF at 4:00 pm. Postponed SOHO 4th launch anniversary... bring the same thing that you were going to bring last time...!! 2. Operations Constraints ------------------------- Gaps in DSN Contact During Normal Commanding Hours: Tues 08:50 - 14:10 UT Wed 12:20 - 14:45 UT 17:30 - 19:00 UT DSS-27, Downlink Only Thurs 12:45 - 15:00 UT Frid 11:20 - 14:35 UT Sat 12:20 - 14:20 UT Sun 15:20 - 17:00 UT 3. Coordinated Observations --------------------------- M Jan 17 (W 3) MDI Continuous Martin Luther King day T Jan 18 MDI Continuous ends 08:50 UT SOHO 4th anniversary party 4pm local W Jan 19 Intercal 1 (#6290), CDS/EIT, Coordinator: Terry Kucera T Jan 20 F Jan 21 SPWG at 2pm in EAF S Jan 22 S Jan 23 Other activities for Week 3: * Jan: CDS GIS Flare observations, NRT required * Jan 17 - Feb 06: UVCS CME Watch * Jan 19-21: Third Whole Sun Month: Workshop I * Jan - Feb: CDS CME onset watch, once per week, 8hrs or more. * Week 2-3: CDS Search for mini CME outflows. * Jan 20[25] - Feb 07: TRACE AR interconnecting loops (3x1 panel mosaic study of an activity belt). Submodes: Submode 6 all week. Planners for Week 3: CDS -- Terry Kucera MDI -- Emily Zamkoff EIT -- Frederic Auchere SUMER -- Not observing LASCO -- Ops Team UVCS -- Danuta Dobrzycka TRACE -- Eclipse Season Relevant Notes -------------- CDS: Performing sunspot and loop observations. They will be happy to coordinate with others looking at similar targets. Time of intercalibration will be decided on Tuesday... will avoid DSS-27 on Wednesday for EIT. UVCS: CME watch at 1.6 and 1.9 solar radii, then 2 days at 2.3 and 2.9 solar radii. If a coronal hole shows up on the East limb they may observe it. LASCO: C2 and C3 synoptics continue. EIT: 195 angstrom CME watch and synoptics continue. MDI: If they do go into the high resolution FOV on Monday they will only stay there for ~ 12 hours then go back to a full disk program. TRACE: A flaring active region is first priority, followed by an active region interconnecting loop study. They were pleased with previous data obtained of interconnecting AR loops and would like to get more data.
