Improvement of Solar Magnetic Field Data for Space Weather Applications

Abstract

Long Term Goals: The major goal for this two-year grant is to improve the accuracy and timeliness of solar magnetic field data that are used to predict space weather disturbances that affect Earth. Objectives: We have three primary scientific objectives for this project: (1) to continue to improve the accuracy and utility of archival and current solar magnetic field data that are used to help understand and predict space weather; (2) to develop ways of utilizing the significantly improved data to be provided by the SOLIS instruments starting in 2002; and (3) To investigate the predictive potential of chromospheric magnetic field measurements for explosive events such as flares and coronal mass ejections that are the causes of major space weather storms.
