Tohban Report 06/26/22 - 07/02/22 Tohban Name: Colin Wilkins (updated [2022/7/4]) Special Notes ------------- - The operational plan for this week was 2 OBO/day and no IBO/day with near-consecutive science zone collections between ELA/ELB on the nightside southern hemisphere -- for the data downlinked so far, there aren't any consecutive passes, but presumably they may come down later - A flight computer issue gave rise to unusual ELB fluxes on 6/26 (odd- looking spectra and atypical L-shell coverage) Abbreviations used: - ORB=Outer Radiation Belt (visible fluxes) - IRB=Inner Radiation Belt (visible fluxes) - PS=Plasma Sheet (visible fluxes) - IB=Isotropic Boundary - prxn=precipitation - LE=low-energy (~500 keV or less) - ME=medium-energy (~500 to 1000 keV) - HE=high-energy (~1 MeV or greater) - SAA=south atlantic anomaly - NS=nightside - DS=dayside - HL=high-latitude - SEP=solar energetic particles Automatic report generated 2022-07-04 15:00:06.641788 (UTC) Note: data is provisional, and may be subject to change Geomagnetic Activity Overview ----------------------------- Day Hour AE (max) AE (sd) DST (min) KP (max) Notes ------------------------------------------------------ 26 0 946 188 -55 4.7 Moderate storm main phase/start of recovery 26 3 428 95 -35 2.3 ... 26 6 410 86 -28 2.0 ... 26 9 1479 300 -23 4.3 AE activation 26 12 997 228 -22 4.3 ... 26 15 608 140 -27 3.0 ... 26 18 859 212 -23 4.0 ... 26 21 868 171 -24 3.7 ... 27 0 1092 223 -32 4.0 ... 27 3 1072 199 -37 4.0 ... 27 6 494 103 -26 2.3 ... 27 9 109 14 -20 0.7 ... 27 12 113 22 -14 0.7 ... 27 15 113 21 -20 0.0 ... 27 18 318 57 -21 1.3 ... 27 21 316 65 -16 2.0 ... 28 0 262 56 -15 1.3 ... 28 3 573 145 -8 2.3 ... 28 6 525 124 -10 2.0 ... 28 9 461 106 -6 1.7 ... 28 12 217 38 -7 1.0 ... 28 15 144 30 -9 0.7 ... 28 18 358 99 -13 2.0 ... 28 21 887 209 -21 3.3 ... 29 0 340 79 -20 1.7 ... 29 3 464 119 -6 1.3 ... 29 6 425 88 -4 1.7 ... 29 9 569 104 -4 2.0 ... 29 12 358 84 -6 1.7 ... 29 15 113 19 -6 0.3 ... 29 18 110 19 -6 0.3 ... 29 21 113 19 -10 0.7 ... 30 0 129 23 -10 1.3 ... 30 3 2847 508 -2 1.0 Very strong AE activation -- is this real?
