UVCS -- UVCS/CDS coronal hole study on South Polar Coronal Hole all week after synoptic. Involves long observations at low heights. Giannina Poletto will arrive later today and can explain science goals next week. LASCO -- may be interested in participating in South Polar Coronal Hole study with UVCS and CDS, will talk to Giannina Poletto when she arrives. EIT -- other than VLA program, will perform CME watch in 195 angstroms. Will refine VLA program when Rob Willson returns from eclipsing. MDI -- continuous contact continues
