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:
- Elimination of the line of sight ambiguity of UVCS
coronal images
- Determination of large scale 3-D coronal structures,
- Determination of temporal evolution of coronal structures,
- 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.
