On Enhancing Visual Perceptions of Solar Flare Precursors.

Abstract

The report describes research on ways to improve the performance of solar patrol observers, personnel who monitor the condition and activity of the sun through optical telescopes. Section 1 explains the need for visual monitoring to detect, evaluate, and predict solar flares. Section 2 discusses the need for increased objectivity and precision in sensory and perceptual evaluations for solar flare prediction. Section 3 is a report of research based on the foregoing rationale. (Modified author abstract)
