WHOLE SUN FORTNIGHT Campaign Plans

August 12 - 25, 1998


Due to the unfortunate loss of communications with SOHO, the Second Whole Sun Month Campaign was reduced to a Whole Sun Fortnight (WSF) Campaign. Detailed magnetic field observations (JOP 81) went on much as originally planned. Each day there was coordinated observations between 1400 and 2400 UT in order to take advantage of the time of greatest overlap of magnetic field observations. Depending on solar conditions, each day a different "Target of the Day" (TOD) chosen from among the following:

As well as the TOD observations between 1400 and 2400 UT, observations that do not temporally overlap the magnetic field observations (NOO for non-overlap observations) made for all three targets during the WSF period.

Coordinated IPS observations made throughout the originally scheduled WSM2 period (August 1-28).
