SOHO Daily Meeting Minutes for Wednesday, 19 June 2002

ANNOUNCEMENTS

————-

* The access to the South entrance of Building 3 by the

  auditorium is open. Some work is still in progress, so

  continue to use caution when walking through the area.

* RHESSI target for today is AR 0001; target for tomorrow

  is TBD.
* Security scans will be postponed from Wednesday to a later date.
* PDU Maintenance on June 20 at 12:40pm to 3:20pm local time.
* No NRT for up to an hour at 11am on Thursday for CELIAS patches.
* Remarkable data from the new TIMED mission on the ionospheric

  and mesospheric response to a series of solar-terrestrial storms

  in 2002 April has led to a call for a workshop as soon as

  possible; see:
  http://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/soho/storms/draft_announcement.html
  The hope is that the workshop will then lead to a special,

  interdisciplinary session at the Fall AGU meeting. Nat Gopalswamy

  (Code 695; gopals@fugee.gsfc.nasa.gov) has agreed to act as the

  SOHO representative in the organization of the workshop. Please

  contact him or the organizers (see the Web page for contact info)

  if you’re interested in participating.
* 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 1  (June 20, Thursday):  Magnetohydrodynamic description

				   of a plasma
  Lecture 2  (June 27, Thursday):  Lagrangian description of a flux rope
  Lecture 3in/B8July 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

INSTRUMENT STATUS

—————–

CDS:	Nominal. Sunspot study and sunspot oscillations study on

	AR 0001. Tomorrow: TBD.
UVCS:	Nominal. 24-hour synoptic. Tomorrow: Cassini conjunction

	and mini-synoptic.
LASCO:	C2/C3 synoptics and JOP159. There is additional stray

	light in the current C3 images. At present the reason

	is unknown but the more obvious causes are being

	investigated. Please note that the additional light is

	not at a sufficient level to pose any threat to

	instrument health.
EIT:	Nominal. 195 CME watch and synoptics.
MDI:	Nominal. High resolution dopplergrams and magnetograms.
TRACE:	Nominal. Observing AR0001.
