NASA Senior Science Review

ATitle circulated and presented a draft of the ``SOHO Solar Maximum Science Program'' proposal to be submitted to NASA for the Senior Science Review.

Basic Conception (Overview)

What Allan still needs is (action 23-1):

All PIs agreed on a basic ``variability data set'' available to the public for scientific use:

-- GOLF: frequencies on 6 month basis.
-- VIRGO: daily intensities in all spectral bands and LOI daily averages; frequencies on a 6 month basis.
-- MDI: magnetograms on a 96 minute cadence; Doppler velocities averaged over 96 minutes every 96 minutes; structure program frequencies on a 6 month basis; LOI proxies daily.
-- SUMER: Full resolution spectra 465-1480Å in both quiet and active Sun (if possible) weekly.
-- LASCO: Near real-time coronal images in C1-C2-C3 as MPEG movies available online; direct access to digital images that form movie.
-- UVCS: Spectral atlas weekly.
-- CDS: Synoptic maps from daily North-South scans; weekly spectral atlas at disk center.
-- EIT: Full sun iamges in all spectral bands daily; all image data.
-- SWAN: Full-sky map in Ly- weekly.
-- CELIAS: Real-time EUV flux; realtime and playback solar wind speed.
-- COSTEP: Key parameters.
-- ERNE: Key parameters; near real-time proton and He-4 intensities (two-hour averages).

The MDI/SOI and EIT PIs have announced their intention to make all data from an extended mission public as soon as the data are reformatted into scientifically useful formats.
