If emergencies arise, you can call our EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBER at the Asticou Inn: (207)-276-3344, or 1-800-258-3373. Tell the receptionist that this is an emergency call for SOHO 7, and we will try to assist you as soon as possible. Please use this option only for a real emergency.
The SOHO observational capability can be greatly extended by frequent collaborations with ground based observatories, ACE, Yohkoh, Spartan 201, TRACE, Ulysses, and other spacecraft.
Reviewing the results obtained so far will allow us to assess the progress toward understanding coronal holes and the solar wind, and will present the user community with input to shape the future program of SOHO science.
ABSTRACT BOOK:
List of Speakers, Discussion Leaders and Reporters
The meeting will explore the following scientific topics:
1.
Solar wind models from the sun to 1 AU: Constraints
by "in situ" and remote sensing measurements,
2.
Energy input, heating and solar wind acceleration in
coronal holes,
3.
Coronal hole boundaries and interactions with adjacent
regions,
4.
Composition and elemental abundance variations in the
solar atmosphere and solar wind.
Each topic
will be introduced by an invited lecture on the morning or early afternoon
of 29 September. The participants will then break into parallel workshop
sessions led by a discussion leader. The workshop sessions will continue
through 30 September. A list of sub-topics to be covered by each workshop
session and a list of speakers for short introductory talks on each sub-topic
will be provided in the final
announcement
of the meeting which is planned to be distributed in mid June. Sub-topics
and introductory speakers will be selected from contributed poster abstracts
and other sources. There will be a joint session on all topics on 1 October
where each Reporter will present a summary of his/her respective session
and considerable time will be provided for discussions.
Posters
All participants
are encouraged to submit abstracts for contributed posters on the general
topics of the meeting. Sub-topics for the discussion sessions will

come to a traffic light. Turn LEFT at the light onto Route 3/198 (i.e.,
the two routes are together at that point). Continue straight on Route
