UVCS WG ON
Synoptic models, tomography, morphology, long term variations

Chairperson:

Leonard Strachan

Group Coordinator:

Alexander Panasyuk

Main scientific purposes:

    The Synoptic Working Group has as its mission the development of empirical models that describe the three dimensional structure and temporal evolution of the corona. Specific goals of the group include the following:
  1. Elimination of the line of sight ambiguity of UVCS coronal images
  2. Determination of large scale 3-D coronal structures,
  3. Determination of temporal evolution of coronal structures,
  4. Understanding of how large scale coronal structures affect the nature and acceleration of the solar wind, and 5) Development of tomographic techniques based on the UVCS daily synoptic observations.
