This CME appears very faint and was identified using the combination of Kcor NRGF and Kcor Diff images. ___end___ Mon Jun 20 19:50:15 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook dark_80ms_2beam_16sums_BOTH.cbk line 0 Mon Jun 20 19:51:02 GMT 2022 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20171025.ini Mon Jun 20 19:51:32 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 637_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Mon Jun 20 19:55:35 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 706_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Mon Jun 20 19:59:48 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 789_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Mon Jun 20 20:03:51 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 1074_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Mon Jun 20 20:06:16 GMT 2022 KCOR End Calibration Script Mon Jun 20 20:07:56 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 1079_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Mon Jun 20 20:12:09 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 ****Possible CME in Progress mcotter**** : Mon Jun 20 20:17:37 GMT 2022 Observer reports with medium confidence a CME observed launching near PA 290 deg, with a minimum width of 10 deg, at UT time 19:30:11.

The cloud formation is close to the ground and fog like. It is blowing up the mountain just west of the observatory, perhaps a quarter mile and periodically wisps of clouds blow through the viewing area. Additionally, wisps of clouds are forming and breaking up in the viewing area. ___end___ Mon Jun 20 21:06:40 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 WEATHER COMMENT: mcotter: Mon Jun 20 21:07:07 GMT 2022 The wind is beginning to get gusty and is blowing from the north-northwest. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Mon Jun 20 21:07:32 GMT 2022 I have closed the dome windows due to gusting winds. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: mcotter: Mon Jun 20 21:13:20 GMT 2022 Aerosol levels are increasing and are visible in the Kcor NRGF and Quicklook images. Additionally, the Kcor Synoptic ( Level 0) images are beginning to brighten from the center outward, as I have referenced in previous log entries. ___end___ Mon Jun 20 21:17:49 GMT 2022 UCoMP Paused for clouds WEATHER COMMENT: mcotter: Mon Jun 20 21:34:03 GMT 2022 It is remarkable how fast weather conditions change here; the sky is now completely overcast and the science area is mired in fog and a light mist. The dome shutter doors have been closed at this time due to adverse weather conditions. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Mon Jun 20 23:25:26 GMT 2022 I removed the tact mat from the dome vestibule floor as it was not adhering to to the floor and creating a trip hazard. The floor surface is cracking and breaking away and it will not allow the tact mat to stick to the surface. I think a new tact mat may be able to be stapled to the floor and the staples should not impede the removal of used tact mats as they become dirty. It will require a power stapler to do the job. I have one at home and will bring it in on Saturday and install the new tact mat. In the mean time I swept the floor of the cracked paint chips and placed a new tact mat inside the vestibule off to the side. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Mon Jun 20 23:26:22 GMT 2022 The day started out clear, though a little bright with aerosols. By mid morning the aerosols had diminished, but by late morning they had returned and were quickly followed by clouds. By mid day the sky was completely overcast. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF:Fetched URL: https://download.hao.ucar.edu/d5/mlso/log/observer/2022/mlso.2022d171.olog
