SOHO Science Operations

Stein Vidar H. Haugan/ESA SOHO SOC

• SOHO-HESSI Collaborations
  • JOP136 Default HESSI Collaboration
    • First SPWG round last Monday
  • HESSI Flare Catalog
    • Reporting on an AR / NOAA Flare basis
    • Should include non-MMOP observations as well
    • Generate input based on as-run databases?
  • Concerns
    • Max Millennium programs are large
    • Commitments (or lack thereof) must be communicated explicitly

SOHO Science Operations

• Declining number of campaigns per year:

  

  • Fatigue, but also longer, more intensive campaigns?

• Are we doing enough to coordinate instruments?
  • Same types of target, but different time
  • Daily/weekly meetings can do much, but:
  • Mostly a longer-term scheduling problem
  • Should we have ``focus weeks/months/..''?
    • Off-limb AR month (SUMER/CDS/UVCS)
    • Or simply ``Off-limb month''
  • Generic ``Coordination campaign''
