LASCO Activity Report for
November 3, 2003 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.

Points Of Interest

LASCO images severely degraded following the 
X8 proton flare from AR 0486 2003/11/02. 
Proton levels now dropping but contamination
is still serious. 

LASCO images are at irregular times and cadences
due to the impact of the proton levels on the
instrument's telemetry buffer

2003/10/31

00:40 UT  W Limb	Slow wide bright loop fronts follow
			sporadic ragged fronts along faint 
			streamer leading to partial blowout,
			much gusty outflow

04:42 UT  N West	Fairly bright ragged loop front, similar
			smaller fainter events follow

12:07 UT  S East	Faint loop fronts along streamer leading 
			to partial blowout

17:30 UT  S West	Bright narrow ragged front along streamer

20:30 UT  E Limb	Fairly wide spray-like front

2003/11/01

12:30 UT  W Limb	Ragged loop fronts follow very slow loops
			along streamer that has been swelling and 
			rising for several hours. Faster brighter 
			fronts follow from 16:30 leading to partial
			streamer blowout

21:30 UT  N West	Wide bright loop front fills quadrant,
			cavity and multiple-loop core-like region
			and much gusty outflow follow

23:06 UT  S West	Fast wide bright loop front with cavity, 
			core and much gusty outflow. M3.2 X-ray
			flare AR 0489, S12S75

2003/11/02

09:30 UT  HALO		Thick wide bright fast loop front in W
			is full halo CME by 09:54. Large backsided
			EIT event

17:30 UT  HALO		Thick wide bright fast loop front in SW
			is full halo CME by 17:54, though faint
			in NE. X8.3 X-ray proton flare AR 0486
			S14W56, prolonged gusty outflow

2003/11/03

01:36 UT  N West	Fairly wide bright asymmetric loop front 
			with cavity and gusty outflow. X2.7 X-ray
			flare AR 0488, N10W83

10:06 UT  N West	Thick wide bright loop front fills quadrant,
			fairly fast. X3.9 X-ray flare AR 0488 N08W77,
			streamer in NE deflected
