A co-ordinated and synergistic analysis strategy for future ground-based and space helioseismology
Abstract
The variety of helioseismology observational programs planned for the mid-1990's represents an unprecedented opportunity to improve our understanding of the solar interior. The data produced by each observational sequence will have different characteristics in terms of strengths and weaknesses. The scientific objectives of the broad helioseismology effort include the study of some very difficult but important problems. This review discusses the co-ordination of the GONG, IRIS, Birmingham and other ground-based observational programs with the space experiments on the SOHO mission: GOLF, VIRGO and MDI. The integration and coordination of the different data streams in terms of the spatial and temporal coverage as well as the implications of the different spectral resolution and stability characteristics of each experiment are discussed. The study of the effect of active regions on various helioseismology signals is presented as an example of how ground-based and space experiments can be coordinated.
