RHESSI Tohban Report, 29-Oct-2004 to 04-Nov-2004
by Albert Shih (ayshih@ssl.berkeley.edu)

1) Solar Activity

Activity has been relatively high due to active region 0691, which produced
many C flares, some M flares, and one (short) X flare.  Unfortunately, RHESSI
was in the SAA during the X flare.  AR0691 is rotating off the disk, but
AR0696 has produced multiple M flares and still has a week on the disk,
so activity might stay elevated for a while.

How many GOES flares occurred?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were     35    48     7     1
And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were     18    32     4     0
And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were     10    20     3     0

There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares         165 /           91
over the time range 27-Oct-04 03-Nov-04


2) Memory Management

The increased solar activity filled the SSR fill level quickly, so the
decimation scheme was changed on Wednesday to normal/active.
(Previously, the front segments were using the modified decimation table
where decimation did not begin until the fill level reached 50% as
opposed to the usual 30%.)
