SOHO Daily Meeting Minutes for Friday, 16 June 2000
Chaired by: L. Roberts (SOC)
DOY: 168
ANNOUNCEMENTS
-------------
* Saturday there will be a power outage in Building 26 between
7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. local GSFC time.
FOT REPORT
----------
Spacecraft Status: Nominal
Spacecraft Anomalies: None
Accomplished Activities: VIRGO, SWAN, NOM HGA
Planned Activities: VIRGO, SWAN, CELIAS, RSL Table,
26m Automation test (2000-0030, including SSR dump)
Upcoming Operations:
Ground Anomalies: None
SOLAR STATUS
------------
SOLAR ACTIVITY FORECAST (UPDATED 15 JUNE AT 22 UT): SOLAR ACTIVITY IS
EXPECTED TO BE LOW TO MODERATE. SEVERAL REGIONS ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
M-CLASS FLARES WITH A CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED X-CLASS FLARE.
GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY FORECAST: THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE
QUIET TO UNSETTLED. ISOLATED ACTIVE CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE THE FIRST DAY
OF THE FORECAST AS THE CORONAL HOLE ROTATES OUT OF POSITION THROUGH THE DAY.
06/15 DOY 167 - 06/16 DOY 168

INSTRUMENT STATUS
-----------------
CDS: Nominal. Synoptics every day. Supporting JOP112 today from 7 to 19 UT.
Then CDS will observe an AR near the limb with TRACE from 19:50 until
23:44 UT. Saturday - JOP112 from 7 to 19 UT followed by off-limb coronal
study. Sunday - off-limb coronal study and CME onset study.
SUMER: Nominal. Today - JOP112 all day except 13-16 UT when doing Helium
emission in a dynamic sun study with EIT. JOP112 all day Saturday.
UVCS: Nominal. Synoptics and JOP112 today at 1.6 and 1.9 Rsun at 148.2 degrees.
Saturday & Sunday -- JOP112 at 2.2 Rsun and 4-hour mini synoptics.
LASCO: Nominal. C2 and C3 synoptics, perhaps some high cadence C2 over weekend
(TBD).
EIT: Nominal. 195 Angstrom CME watch and synoptics. Also today, EIT will
support SUMER in the helium emission study for 50 minutes at 13 UT and
at 14:30 UT in shutterless mode. EIT will then perform pre-bakeout
calibrations. The bakeout will begin today at 20 UT. The last images
prior to the bakeout will be at 15:30 UT today.
MDI: Nominal. Full disk magnetograms and dopplergrams.
TRACE: Nominal. TRACE will continue to observe AR 9046, now near the NE limb.
There will be a synoptic scan in the morning. We are considering this
target for a long observing run through the next 12-14 days.
N.B. From Saturday through Tuesday (June 17-20) TRACE will make a single
wavelength Full-Disk Mosaic for SOHO planning purposes.
