[Lowfer] TH Chasing

[John Andrews]

Mike,

It's interesting that the disappearance of TH coincided with the pickup 
of solar wind speed due to coronal hole flow. I wouldn't have thought 
over this 769 mile path that it would have made such a difference, but 
maybe. If the loss is related to this, thing should improve on the next 
two nights, and then go downhill later in the week. Will keep watching.
