WEEKLY MEETING MINUTES Week 26, 24 - 30 June 2002 1. Announcements ---------------- * SPWG Friday 28 June at 2pm in the EAF * Security scans for EOF and EAF rescheduled for 3 July at 10am * Visitors will come to the EOF on Tuesday 25 June in the afternoon, on Thursday June 27, and Friday 28 June * Router fail-over testing rescheduled for July 8 * PMI contractors are scheduled to perform corrective maintenance on the UPS-20 system on July 10 from 9AM until 4:30PM. The UPS system will be in bypass and the load will be on commercial power during this activity. No impact to operations is expected. 3-UPS-20 supports SOHO, W/P, and XTE missions. * Prof. Tyan Yeh from Boulder will give a set of 5 lectures on The Dynamics of Flux Ropes in the Corona-Interplanetary Space at Bldg 26, Rm G-10, at 11:00am on the following days: Lecture 2 (June 27, Thursday): Lagrangian description of a flux rope Lecture 3 (July 2, Tuesday): Magnetic structure of a flux rope with circular cross-sections Lecture 4 (July 11, Thursday): Hydromagnetic buoyancy force on a flux rope Lecture 5 (July 18, Thursday): Equations for parameters that characterize a flux rope 2.

UVCS: Cassini conjunction observations and synoptic, possible RHESSI observations during weekend if suitable target exists, otherwise coronal hole and synoptic observations. LASCO: C2/C3 synoptics, JOP159 Wednesday - Friday. EIT: 195 CME watch and synoptics. MDI: Switching to full disk magnetorgams and dopplergrams on Monday. Tuning reload and possibly a change to normal focus (from full disk best focus) on Friday. Campaign testing and calibrations possible on Friday also. TRACE: Active region studies.
