Development of a System for Accurate Forecasting of Solar Activity
Abstract
Work on solar activity forecasting has concentrated on the search for correlations which would allow the forecast of a given cycle with an anticipation larger than 4 to 5 years. The work on solar dynamo modeling involved a formulation of a realistic model of magnetic diffusion. This work is essentially complete and is capable of handling reliably the small scale interaction between convection and magnetic fields. Significant progress has occurred in the Solar Disk Sextant work with the completion of the wedge fabricated by optical contact. A successful balloon flight has yielded 20 gigabytes of data for which reduction and analysis methods are being developed.
