1. Progress status

The main activities during March 2000 have been a further investigation of the relation between the anomaly sets and the production of the SRD.

Further investigations of the relation between the anomaly sets were made. The previously calculated correlation table in TN 1 (Database) is a bit misleading as pointed out at the February 2000 MTR. The reason that we can get correlations > 0.7 is the fact that there are no anomalies most of the time. Instead the joint probabilities and mutual information were calculated and presented in TN 2 (Analysis). Before the calculations were made we selected only anomalies which are believed to be related to charging events. This means the TDRS-1 anomalies are excluded, as they are only SEU. It was now found that the relation between the anomaly sets is weak.

Calculating the mutual information we also examined the relation between daily sums of Kp, averaged over 1 to 10 days, with the anomaly sets. It was seen that the different satellites show different response on Kp. It is also nice to see that there is no relationship between Kp and TDRS-1 anomalies as these are SEUs. After selecting mainly ESD events the Kp calculations were remade and generally the relationship between Kp and anomalies became stronger, but still showing that the satellites individual response on Kp is different.

For a link to the latest version of TN 2 see WP220 below.

After inputs from the MTR the SRD has been developed further. The structure of the specific requirements has been defined together with Hugh Evans at ESTEC. The model in the SRD has been described in more detail. The SRD still needs more work. For a link to the latest version see WP120 below.

4. Status report on all long lead or critical delivery items

None

5. Action items

The following 5 Action Items were discussed at the MTR held at ESTEC 28 February. (Will be confirmed when the minutes from the MTR is signed).

1. Peter Wintoft will send questionnaires to ESOC during March.

2. Peter Wintoft will continue the investigation of the availability of LEO data. Report will be given at the next progress meeting.
