RHESSI Tohban report, 2-Jun-2003 to 6-Jun-2003
Amir Caspi

1. Solar Activity:

Activity was moderate but significant this week.  There were 7 M-class flares
recorded from 2-Jun-2003 until the morning of 9-Jun-2003; 5 of these were
observed by RHESSI either mostly or completely.  There were also over 50
C-class flares during this period (many or most of which were observed by
RHESSI) and a rather high background level.

Active region #0365 is now in the west and will be behind the limb in 5 days,
but region #0375 is still in the east and relatively near the limb; it will
likely produce significant activity over the coming 2 weeks.

2. Memory Management:

We began the week with a very full SSR due to last week's high activity, and
the level remained rather high all week.  Moderate flare activity and a
high solar background level kept the SSR fill level above 50% for most of
the week despite increased downlinks, with the level rising as high as 80%
midweek.  The SSR was at 65% as of the first pass on 9-Jun-2003.

No changes were made to the decimation tables during the week, and the
attenuators operated in 0-1-3 mode all week, with movements due to the M-
and large C-class flares.

3. Data Gaps:

None that I know of, although we may dump some data during the coming week
to free up the SSR for anticipated X-class flares.

4. Major operational gaps in solar coverage:

None that I know of, but see above.

5. Tohban:

Gordon Hurford takes over until 16-Jun-2003.
