=================================================================== Tohban report: 2009-10-13 to 2009-10-19 Produced at 11:30 on 2009-10-19 (at Berkeley by Jonathan Eastwood) Checked data from: 2009-10-12/00:00 UT to 2009-10-18/23:59 UT =================================================================== Summary: 1. NEW TOHBAN TASK: Check the ground magnetometer data, using the instructions from Jim McTiernan. See http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~themistohban/grounddata.htm 1. Inner probe data P3: Appears OK, just touching magnetopause at apogee. Significant magnetosheath intervals only on 10/13 10/15 and 10/18 P4: Appears OK, very similar to P3. P5: 1415 - 1600 UT, 10/15 survey memory saturated. 2000 UT 10/16 - 2045 UT 10/17 survey memory saturated. Some data dumped here: MILA_9M2 THEMIS_A 2.000 2009/289 16:59:00 2009/289 17:38:00 TR7 # Data dump but not enough to avoid memory saturation. Data dumps: BGS_11M THEMIS_A 9.100 2009/292 00:36:40 2009/292 00:55:25 TR10 # Data dump HBK_10M THEMIS_A 9.100 2009/292 01:39:00 2009/292 02:09:00 TR9 # Data dump [MB] Issues with the second of these passes (see below) did not appear to result in loss of data, since data was largely dumped in the first pass. Good magnetopause burst data on 10/12, 10/13 2. Outer probe data P1: Perigee pass on 10/12 - collected fast mode data and particle/wave bursts in the magnetosheath Solar wind/ foreshock measurements throughout rest of interval; solar wind mode after outbound shock crossing P2: Perigee pass on 10/13 - collected fast mode data and particle/wave bursts in the magnetosheath Perigee pass on 10/17 - collected fast mode data and particle/wave bursts in both the magnetosheath and magnetosphere. Solar wind/ foreshock measurements throughout rest of interval; solar wind mode change timed OK. =================================================================== ICCRs Approved: ICCR 98 - set the EFI distal braid to ground on TH-A, -D and -E (entering 'EFI shadow season on the inner probes) After approval, the EFI DBRAIDs on THD & THE were grounded today at the following times: THD 2009-10-14 21:06 THE 2009-10-14 23:16 =================================================================== Data quality/collection status 2009-10-12/00:00 UT to 2009-10-18/23:59 UT: ------------------------------------------------------------------- (P1) TH-B (to 0200 UT on 10/17/2009) FGM: full coverage ESA: full coverage SST: full coverage EFI fields + filter bank: full coverage SCM fields + filter bank: full coverage (P2) TH-C (to 0800 UT on 10/18/2009) FGM: full coverage ESA: full coverage SST: full coverage EFI fields + filter bank: full coverage SCM fields + filter bank: full coverage ------------------------------------------------------------------- (P5) TH-A FGM: full coverage except 1415 -
