SOHO Daily Meeting Minutes for Wednesday 19 November 2003 ANNOUNCEMENTS ------------- * JOP153 Major Flare Watch target changed yesterday to the east limb (former region AR10486) with the new campaign number of #7005. For those instruments that are still on AR10501 for today, the old campaign number #7000 is still in effect until the end of today. * Helicopters will be hovering above GSFC at 1000 ft for infrared imaging of buildings in the time span 19-21 November to determine rooftop water collection points. Flyovers will also be made at nighttime.
