It would be great if we could encourage some of the radar facilities to take data on these days since both Geotail and IMP-8 are in the tail and therefore, are in prime positions for substorm studies !! Nicky Day UT Imager 121 5:30-18:30 nightside oval as soon as possible - Geotail in excellant position in tail 23-0 dayside oval 122 0-12 dayside oval for as long as possible - Geotail near magnetopause 16-21 noon - SuperDARN (K/S) conjunction 21-0 15 MLT - SuperDARN (K/S) conjunction 123 0-6:30 nightside oval 10-18 dayside oval (noon) - SuperDARN (GB/St) conjunction 18-0 whole oval - nightside if only partial possible 124 4-10 whole oval - dayside if only partial possible 10-17 whole oval - nightside if only partial possible 21-0 dayside oval 125 0-11 whole oval - nightside if only partial possible 15-18 noon - SuperDARN (GB/St) conjunction 18-0 whole oval 126 0-5 midnight - SuperDARN (GB/St) conjunction 9-22 nightside oval as soon as possible - Geotail in excellant position in tail - (IMP-8 in good tail location) also SuperDARN (Cutlass) and EISCAT conjunction - magnetic conjunction from 9-22 UT, imaging radars from about 12-22 UT 127 2:30-15:30 nightside oval as soon as possible - IMP-8 in excellant position in tail and Geotail still in good position 19:30-0 dayside oval Nicola J.
