David Alexander (Rice University): Inferences from observations of active region flux d: total helicity flux (x10 42 Mx 2 ) over 5 days for the positive and negative polarities c: helicity injection rate (x10 40 Mx 2 per hr) the positive and the negative polarities HELICITY IS ASYMMETRIC FOLLOWING POLARITY (*) SHOWS MORE FLUCTUATION
Is the corona, its topology and evolution consistent with the dynamics and evolution of the sub-surface expectations? Can we infer gross properties of the near sub-surface region from surface observations? e.g. can the observations usefully inform the models? Nature or nurture? Is solar activity (flares/CMEs etc.) a result of genetics (properties defined at birth) or environmental conditions (evolution of AR atmosphere, interaction with large scale corona, …)
