Period: 2001-03-01--03-31

Authors: Lars Eliasson and Peter Wintoft

1. Progress status

The major part of this month Peter Wintoft was on leave due to the birth of his second son and the move to a new house.

The hourly Dst index has been added to the SAAPS database. The data extends over the years 1957 to 2000.

The hourly AE index has been added to the SAAPS database. The data extends over the years 1957 to 1976. Data exist up to 1988 at the data source, but due to some software problem only data up to 1976 has been stored in the SAAPS database.

Started work on the Java implementation of the Marecs anomaly prediction model.
