1. Solar Activity

The week started out with GOES level at A2 baseline, and gradually increased to B2 baseline from the 29th October onwards when AR 10921 (beta-gamma) and 10922 emerged. Relatively large AR and complex group for the time in the cycle, hopefully we can get some joint Hinode and RHESSI events in the coming days.

GOES flares - from Lockheed GOES monitoring page. For the last week the GOES 10 & GOES 12 data have been missing (throughout SolarSoft). It is being dealt with by the experts (Freeland). NB, even in Lockheed GOES page (which uses 1 minute averages of GOES 3s data) has a gap from approx 
27-Oct-06 00UT to 29-Oct-06 00UT 

How many GOES flares occurred?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were      16     0     0     0
And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were      12     0     0     0
And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were      ?     0     0     0

There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares          TBD  /            16
over the time range 26-Oct-06 01-Nov-06


2. Memory Management

Memory has not been a problem.

Gaps marked with a * are VC1 data and are not recoverable

4. Spacecraft Operations

Normal solar observations all week. The decimation was also set to normal/active.
