Some European activities in support of the SOHO mission.
Abstract
The rationale and potential functions of the European Science Data and Operations Centre (ESDOC) are outlined. Other efforts, namely the gathering of support - through the Joint Organisation for Solar Observations (JOSO) - for ground-based observations in the context of the SOHO mission, as well as the development of a vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) transfer source standard - to be used for radiometrically intercomparing spectrometric SOHO instruments - are also described.
