SOHO SPWG Minutes
Friday, 19 May, 2000
1. Review of action items
None.
2. Boundary conditions
* Upcoming Maneuvers/spacecraft activities
- No maneuvers foreseen for the current planning period.
* MDI Continuous
26 March - 9 July (Actual continuous starts May 24)
* Submode changes
Change to submode 5 for SUMER support of JOP112, 13-19 June (MEDOC)
Change to submode 5 for SUMER support of JOP125, 30 June - 12 July
3. JOPs status
Updated JOPs:
- JOP 104 Doppler shifts in X-ray jets,
SUMER/CDS/EIT/UVCS/TRACE/HESSI/Yohkoh/MICA/HASTA,
Contact: Werner Curdt, Davina Innes
UVCS part added.
New JOPs:
- JOP 125 Evolution of quiescent prominences,
SUMER/EIT/TRACE/SVST/DOT/VTT/GCT
Jop leader: Eberhard Wiehr (SVST), Werner Curdt/Udo Schuehle(EOF)
EIT observations specified as 12-minute cadence full resolution 304
in 10x10 block area (shape may vary), with 195 at the beginning and
end. Wondering whether TRACE images should include 195 as well.
MDI would like to have confirmed that targets will always be
off-limb (not filaments).
4. Priorities for the coming month (W 22-26, 29 May - 2 July)
a) Joint observing plans
* Jun 5-18 JOP112 Coordinated SOHO-Ulysses elemental abundance study,
UVCS/Ulysses, Contact: Giannina Poletto,Steve Suess(EOF)
CDS/SUMER support during 12/13-14/19 June.
SUMER X = -600"
Giannina Poletto has been contacted to confirm that
CDS and SUMER observation dates (12-14 June vs 13-19 June)
are ok.
* Jun 26 JOP123 Narrow Band Photometry of EUV Emission Lines,
MDI/CDS/EIT/TXI(rocket)/TRACE/Yohkoh,within 1700-1900UT.
Contacts: Ed DeLuca (edeluca@head-cfa.harvard.edu)
Leon Golub (golub@corona.harvard.edu)
Local: Jeff Newmark
TRACE may add C IV observations in their plan.
EIT may add Fe XV 284 to their plan and coordinate w/CDS.
* Jul 1-12 JOP125 Evolution of Quiescent Solar Prominences,
SUMER/EIT/TRACE/SVST/DOT/VTT/GCT,
Jop leader: Eberhard Wiehr (SVST)
Deputy/local: Werner Curdt/Udo Schuehle (EOF)
SUMER X = -290" -> towards East limb.
* July 1,3,5 & 8, 15:00 - 21:00 UT, EIT/VLA/MDI, EOF contact: Jeff Newmark
EIT: Full Disk, 4 bands, 2x2 bin, ~30 minute cadence. TBC
MDI: full disk magnetograms, no special observations
More information will be made available later. CDS and MDI
has been notified about the observations.
b) Individual instrument plans
CDS -- has been informed that the "Large Sunspots (similar to JOP108)"
study scheduled for June 1-6 has been transformed to this:
* Jun 1-17 Sunspot dynamics, EFR studies, MDI/TRACE/La Palma (SVST),
Contact: Trace Planner.
See CDS request diary for upcoming plans:

UVCS --
29 May - 04 Jun L. Zangrilli Latitudinal dependence of H I,
Ly-alpha and O VI line profiles
05 Jun - 11 Jun G. Poletto SOHO-Sun-Ulysses quadrature
12 Jun - 18 Jun S. Suess SOHO-Sun-Ulysses quadrature
L. Gardner and calibration with Zeta Tau
19 Jun - 29 June M. Uzzo CME Watch Campaign
30 June - 04 July, S. Habbal Coordinated observations during
the Mars Global Surveyor conjunction
LASCO -- nothing unusual planned.
EIT -- Will perform a bakeout June 16-19.
MDI -- until July 9, MDI taking full disk magnetograms and dopplergrams
(rare exceptions)
TRACE -- comments regarding LaPalma campaigns that the morning time
(starting 0800 UT) most precious, so try scheduling other
observations at other times. Also, they are planning
2-week continuous run on an active region from ~ June 17-30.

c) Intercalibration activities
- Intercal 1, Scheduled for week 27
