Recent advances in helioseismic predictors of space weather
Abstract
Helioseismology probes the solar interior using acoustic oscillations. With current and future experiments providing continuous data that can be analyzed via local helioseismology techniques, there is now the potential of using subsurface observations to predict space weather. Several relevant developments in helioseismology are reviewed here. These include holographic imaging of the farside of the sun; time-distance studies of rising active regions; and ring diagram analysis of twisting flows underneath strongly-flaring active regions.
