Points Of Interest

Proton levels back to serious contamination levels in both 
C2 and C3 following the proton event on 2001/10/01


2001/10/01

00:54 UT  N West	Initially very bright loop front fades through C2

01:54 UT  S West	Fairly wide bright loop front, slower loops follow

05:30 UT  S West	Thick wide fast bright front with cavity and core.
			Spans ~100 deg but streamers to N and S disrupted
			and a faint shock extends over the pole to the 
			N East so it looks like a full halo. M8(?) on/over 
			S West limb. Continued gusty outflow over S West
			for next 24+ hrs
 
	 C2 Running Difference movie

12:54 UT  N West	Narrow bright feature widens to angular front 
			with cavity through C2

17:06 UT  S Pole	Narrow loop front with cavity, a little to the W

21:54 UT  N East	Bright loops emerge slowly along wide bright 
			streamer which then proceeds to blow out. Still
			in progress at time of writing

22:30 UT  N West	Brightest and largest of several blobs/narrow fronts

23:06 UT  S East	Narrow ragged front with some gusty outflow 

2001/10/02

07:31 UT  N West	Bright front along streamer, still in progress
			at time of writing

	07:55 UT - time of writing	Temporary data gap
