Monthly Progress Report

SAAPS-MR-9-99

Period: 1999-12-01--12-31

Authors: Lars Eliasson and Peter Wintoft

1. Progress status

The Software Requirements Document (SRD) version 0.1 for the database and database tools, (see also WP120) was delivered in December.

Draft versions of two technical notes were also delivered. The Technical Note 2 version 0.1 for the satellite analysis module (WP220 SAAM) and the Technical Note 3 version 0.1 for the satellite anomaly prediction module (WP320 SAPM).

In the Technical Note 1 (Exploration of data) it was seen that the solar wind magnetic field data from OMNI generally showed good agreement with ACE for the 1998 data. However, there were points that strongly deviated from this (about 5% of the points in the data set). After contacts with Joe King, who is responsible for the OMNI set, it turned out that they had a bug in the program for merging the IMP-8 data into the OMNI set. They have now corrected and updated the OMNI set.

The SAAPS database tools have been upgraded with new Java code. ACE one-minute solar wind plasma and magnetic field data are automatically downloaded from the Solar Environment Center SEC every 10 minutes and stored into the SAAPS database. The 3-hour Kp is downloaded every hour. A mirror site at http://sol.irfl.lu.se/saaps contains the same information as http://www.irfl.lu.se/saaps and also a link to the Java documentation at http://sol.irfl.lu.se/saaps/saa psint/doc/.

5. Action items

The following 8 Action Items were defined during PM2 held in Kiruna 12-14 October:

1. Scheme for coding sensitive information shall be sent to Alain Hilgers for approval in the end of November 1999.

2. Alain Hilgers shall investigate the availability of other anomaly data sets at ESTEC. Information shall be sent to by end of October.

3. Peter Wintoft will send email remainder to those that have not responded and send the questionnaire to ESOC before the end of October. ** Letter and questions were sent by email on 16 November 1999**.

4. Alain Hilgers will give names to contact at ESOC before end of October.

5. Peter Wintoft shall send information and questionnaire to SWEN before end of October. ** A description of SAAPS was emailed to SWEN on 27 October 1999. **

6. Peter Wintoft shall investigate usefulness of environment data from polar orbits (at least DMSP and TIROS) before the end of November. ** Availability of DMSP data has been investigated. Decision to investigate other sources of LEO particle data. **

7. Peter Wintoft shall submit the URD for WP110 to Alain Hilgers before 31 October in pdf-format. Alain Hilgers shall notify in a couple of days if critical problems exist in the URD. **The URD was delivered on 28 October 1999. Response from Alain Hilgers was received on 5 November. **

8. A draft version of the URD for WP310 shall be sent to Alain Hilgers by mid-November. **Draft version was delivered on 17 November 1999. **
