Tohban report, 3-Oct-2005 to 10-Oct-2005
Pascal Saint-Hilaire, shilaire@ssl.berkeley.edu

1. Solar Activity: Overall, fairly low. 
It picked up at the beginning of the week (from ~A5 to ~B4), and a few B-flares (and one C-flare during HESSI night) occured 
as the decaying AR 10808 (which produced several X-flares at the beginning of September) came around the eastern limb 
and a new AR 10813 was forming. Now, solar activity is back to a baseline level of ~A5.


How many GOES flares occurred?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were     16     1     0     0
And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were      6     0     0     0
And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were      6     0     0     0
 
There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares           9 /           17
over the time range 02-Oct-05 09-Oct-05



2. Memory Managment:

Decimation scheme hasn't been changed, and is still "normal/high".
Front segment data are not being taken. As the activity picked up with the return of AR 10808,
a scheduled change to take front segment data at night was cancelled before it took effect, at the beginning of the week.

SSR fill level hovered the whole week around 20-30%. It is now 16%

It has been decided at the meeting that fromt segment night data will be taken again.


3. Data Gaps:

GAP START TIME              GAP END TIME                   GAP (SEC)

--> this orbit file is there. The info is still missing from Obs. Summ. data.


4. MISC:

Since 2004, we have about 50% more particles than earlier in the mission:
