Research in the Prediction of Solar Activity

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to understand the physics of flares and Coronal Mass Ejections and their impact on the earth; and to predict them accurately. We will predict solar flares by continuation of the BEARALERT program, and intend to issue more alerts with general information on the state of solar activity. Second, we shall investigate the relation between erupting filaments observed at Big Bear and coronal mass ejections (CME) observed from Large Angle Spectroscopic Coronagraph (LASCO). Finally, we shall estimate the ultraviolet solar flux by daily issuance of our K-line index.
