1. Solar Activity

Activity was markedly low throughout the week, with the GOES baseline
of around B6 last Tuesday gradually descending to B2, where it has
remained for the past 3 or so days. Only 4 C-class flares occurred, and
only 2 are known to have good RHESSI coverage (the status of today's flare
is yet to be determined):
                                                                                                                         
21-JAN-04  00:20 00:36 01:02  C2.3
21-JAN-04  04:02 05:11 05:30  C1.2
25-JAN-04  22:23 22:41 22:50  C6.3
26-JAN-04  06:02 06:10 06:14  C1.6
                                                                                                                         
The two remaining NOAA active regions on the visible solar disk are now
nearly out of view, leaving the sun unusually quiet, with merely a slight
chance for a few occulted flares in the next couple of days.

How many GOES flares occurred?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were     17    14     4     0
And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were     12     9     3     0
And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were      9     4     3     0
       
There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares         106 /           35
over the time range 18-Jan-04 25-Jan-04

2. Memory Management

The decimation state was allowed to remain normal/normal due to the low
activity and thus to a nearly steady decrease in the SSR fill level (from
36% on Wednesday to 16.9% this afternoon).
                                                                                                                         
3. Data Gaps
                                                                                                                         
Large gaps occurred yesterday, the appropriate people are notified.
