LASCO Activity Report for
December 2, 2002 SOHO Science Daily Meeting
Planner: K. Schenk, G. Lawrence
Event times are first frame seen in C2 camera unless otherwise noted.
These are preliminary observations for the daily SOHO science discussions.
Final analysis is reported on the Lasco CME list.
An archive of these reports is available.

10:06 UT W Limb Ragged loop front along remnants of
streamer, some gusty outflow
17:30 UT N West Ragged loop front, some gusty outflow
17:54 UT S East Narrow spray
21:54 UT S West Initially narrow ragged loop front along
streamer widens through C2, some gusty
outflow into next day

2002/11/28
01:31 UT N West Bright ragged asymmetric front with
slight cavity
02:30 UT S West Faint narrow loop front
03:06 UT S Pole Faint asymmetric front, another
at 05:30

01:31 event, plus narrower fronts.
Another at 12:54

00:30 UT S Pole Wide bright thick multiple-loop front
with bright structured core and much
prolonged outflow including further
fronts at 07:54

another to N at 06:06
10:30 UT N West Ragged asymmetric loop front along
