Solar/Inner Heliosphere W.G.

• Near Term Goals
• Select science topics and subgroups for possible
  observing campaigns
• Select science topics and subgroups for possible
  analysis and modeling
• Intermediate Goals
• Work out detailed plans for each campaign
• Work out details for modeling tasks

Solar/Inner Heliosphere W.G.

• Suggested Campaign Topics from NSO meeting
• Variation of solar minimum irradiance (cycle to
  cycle)
• Off-limb coronal magnetic field measurements
• Electron temperature measurements from electron
  scattered disk spectrum
• Quiescent filament observations
• Plage brightness flux rope initiation
• Far-side imaging of corona and magnetic fields
• Chromospheric magnetic field measurements (SOLIS)

6
Solar/Inner Heliosphere W.G.

• Suggested Campaign Topics (continued)
• Generation of subsurface magnetic fields
• Study of how subsurface flows structure the
  corona
• Relationship of cosmic ray modulation to CMEs
• Characterization of CME shocks and relationship
  to solar energetic particle production
• H-alpha observations of sunspots, filaments
  flares
• Cross-cutting themes of universal processes in
  different solar/heliospheric environments
