SUMER: Will either open door after submode change or on D46 in the afternoon. Thermal stabilization will take place for the 12 hours following the door opening then observations will begin on Tuesday. Slit will stay at x=0" all week. Y will change with the targets. Observations for the week will include JOP158, line width measurements studies and possibly JOP131 if there is a prominence target available over a pole. UVCS: JOP158 and mini-synoptic Monday, Wednesday, Friday. 24-hour synoptic on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. LASCO: C2/C3 synoptics, JOP159 Wednesday - Friday, JOP158. EIT: Half resolution 195 CME watch and synoptic, JOP159 Wednesday - Friday. Will support MEDOC JOPs with standard half resolution CME watch. EIT will not switch to 304 for the first part of next week. MDI: Full disk magnetograms and dopplergrams in support of JOP157. MDI will support JOP157 with high resolution observations if the target is in the high resolution field of view. TRACE: MEDOC JOPs. ----------- MEDOC Campaign #10 Weekly Meeting Minutes Planning of week # 43 Friday, 18 October 2002 F. Auchere SOL : F. Auchere Attendees : P. Lemaire, B. Schmieder, K. Bocchialini, F. Baudin, J. C. Vial, J.-P. Delaboudiniere, D. Hassler, R. Ben El Hadj, A. Millard, L. Dolla, E. Buchlin Note 1: E. Antonucci won't be able to take the charge of UVCS planning during the campaign. The UVCS planning will be done by Kuen Ko (alone, without Susanna Parenti). Note 2: THEMIS should be added in the list of supporting instruments for JOP 157. Confirmed Planners for Week 43: CDS -- Susanna Parenti MDI -- Sarah Gregory EIT -- Alex Young SUMER -- Frederic Baudin LASCO -- Ops Team UVCS -- Kuen Ko TRACE -- Dawn Myers Boundary conditions *Submode change to Submode 5 at 13 UT SUMER doors open *Contact with DSS-66 will be lost at 14:40 UT. P.Lemaire can't guarantee that he can open the SUMER door between the submode switch and the end of the pass. In this case, he will have to wait until 20:25 for DSS-46 to come up, since the door can't be opened on DSS-27. Since SUMER needs 12 hours of of thermal stabilization, SUMER observations won't begin before tuesday morning. *The chosen target for JOPs 157 and 131 is AR 162 (at least for Monday Oct 21) *The SUMER slit will stay at X=0" all week. Y will change with the targets. *SUMER will support JOP 131 only if a target (prominence) is available over a pole. *The SUMER Line Width Measurements of Coronal Ions Study (POC: Laurent Dolla) may be run only week #43 if the data are good enough. *EIT will be in 2x2 binned images mode after the submode switch. *EIT might support JOP 131 by switching the CME watch to 304. *Details of support from CORONAS will be discussed wednesday after V. Kuzin arrives at MEDOC *Sunday 27 October : US & European Daylight Savings ends, GSFC local = UT - 5h Instruments Planning Outline SUMER : JOP 158, JOP 131 (maybe), + Line width measurements study CDS : JOP157, JOP 158, Synoptic meridian images, AR and CH atlas, NIS atlas EIT : CME watch 195 2x2 binned DETAILS M Oct 21 (W43) SUMER : Opens door + thermal stabilization Resumes observations tuesday morning.
