Daily e-mail January 30th 2013


Good Morning 

My computer died yesterday and my phone died last night so sorry if I’m missing information in this e-mail, or don’t respond promptly to e-mails or phone calls. KML files will be produced soon (hopefully). I promise to stay away from all BARREL computers/electronics for the rest of the campaign unless absolutely necessary. 

Payloads up: 
SANAE IV: 1Q, 1T, 1U, 1V
Halley 6:  1H, 1I, 1A

Payloads ready for flight:
SANAE IV:  launched 1V and if the ground weather is good tomorrow or Friday plan to launch the last payload for this campaign!
Halley 6: no new news

Payloads coming down:
No new news

GOES Electron Flux:
Have continued to be at normal to moderate levels and are expected to be the same for the next three days

GOES Proton Flux:
Has stayed at background levels for the lat 24 hours and is expected to be the same over the next three days

Space Weather from Spaceweather.com and SWPC.noaa.gov

Solar wind speed is 344.5 km/s but with bursts above 550 km/s
Solar proton density 1.0 cm^(-3) 

53 sunspots are now visible. NOAA has the likelihood of a M class flare at 5% and a 1% chance of an X class flare. The sun is incredibly quiet. There may be a flare today, but it would be on the Northeastern limb, and thus not geo-effective. 

Kp is quiet kp = 0 with a 24 max of kp = 1
Bz = 0.2 nT souh
Btotal = 1.9 nT 

There are now two small coronal holes. The one is much closer to the solar equator than the three previous. SW from these holes are expected to reach the Earth sometime between February 4th and 6th. 


From Kyoto:
AE: very quiet!

Dst: very quiet.  


Have a good day and remember to back up your computer!
