1. Progress status

Travel to England to attend the 6th progress meeting for the SEDAT project at RAL. Mike Hapgood chaired the meeting. The other attendants were Alain Hilgers, Eamonn Daly (ESTEC) and Alexis Glover (MSSL). We had also a short discussion with Geoff Reeves (LANL) about the availability of the keV electron data. It seems that the data will become available but further work has to be done. This might include a trip to LANL.

Continued work on URD for database and db tools (WP110) and started work on URD for spacecraft anomaly analysis (WP210).

Continued contacts with Geoff Reeves after the discussions in England.

NGDC has been contacted about data policy. The reply from Daniel Wilkinson state that the data are not copyrighted so it is possible to include the data in the database. However, we should give credits to the data providers.

Web pages showing the schedule have been updated.

The satellite anomaly analysis module has been updated:

1) The database of Kp goes from 1976 to present.

2) A link to a web page with descriptions has been added to the analysis plot page.

3) The previous prediction model had an incorrect normalization constant that now has been changed.
