Mees is clear and observing. The morning survey of all
numbered active
regions is complete. We are targeting AR8668, in support
of WSM 3 and
Max Millennium OP002.
Details:
(1) Imaging Vector Magnetograph: Active
region survey, followed by
repeated
vector magnetograms of AR 8668.
(2) Haleakala Stokes Polarimeter: Down,
electronic problem.
(3) MCCD: JPW05 on AR8668.
(4) Routine observations as follows:
+ H-alpha coronagraph:
West limb.
+ MWLT: Full
disk continuum.
Observing Plan for 1999 August 19:
Mees is closed today, but we will be observing
over the weekend during
WSM. The trade wind inversion is predicted to be weak
and rather high
the next couple of days, so we may have trouble with convective
clouds. A new feature has been added to the IVM data page,
courtesy of
Barry LaBonte: white-light movies of the main target region.
As of
now, there is only yesterday's movie available, and it
has a few
problems--but stay tuned.
Mees is open and observing today. We are targeting AR 8668.
Details:
(1) Imaging Vector Magnetograph:Active
region survey is complete;
continuous
observations of 8668.
(2) Haleakala Stokes Polarimeter: Down,
electronic problem.
(3) JPW05 on AR 8668.
(4) Routine observations as follows:
+ H-alpha coronagraph:
North polar region.
+ MWLT: Full
disk continuum.

Observing Plan for 1999 August 25
Mees is windy but observing today. We are supporting WSM
and targeting
AR 8668.
Details:
(1) Imaging Vector Magnetograph: Active
region survey; continuous
observations
of 8668.
(2) Haleakala Stokes Polarimeter: Instrument
down for repairs.
(3) Mees Imaging Spectrograph (MCCD):
JPW05 on AR 8668.
(4) Routine observations as follows:
+ H-alpha coronagraph:
West limb.
+ MWLT: Full
disk continuum.
Whole Sun Month target 8668 is too close to the limb
for useful
magnetograms. Observations will be taken of AR 8668
with the MCCD and
coronagraph. The IVM and Stokes polarimeter will
concentrate on AR
8673/74 group. The seeing is very poor.
Details:
(1) Imaging Vector Magnetograph: Active
region survey; continuous
mosaics of AR
8673/74.
(2) Haleakala Stokes Polarimeter: Lo-res
on 8673/74 group.
(3) Mees Imaging Spectrograph (MCCD):
JPW05 on AR 8668.
(4) Routine observations as follows:
