Sub-surface session Bill Abbett (Wed. morning) UNDERSTANDING THE MAGNETIC CONNECTION BETWEEN SUB-PHOTOSPHERIC LAYERS AND THE SOLAR CORONA

What is the dynamic, energetic, and magnetic connection between magnetic fields below the photosphere, those observed at the visible surface, and those inferred from observations of the corona? What drives the emergence of active region magnetic fields, and how do magnetic structures threading the convection zone, photosphere, transition region and corona evolve as active regions decay? A timeseries of line-of-sight magnetograms for a complex active region (V. Abramenko)

How can we best use models and observational data to understand in a quantitative way the physics of the combined convection-zone to corona system? What data is available, and how well do the latest theoretical and numerical models match up? These are some of the questions we will address in the WG1 session entitled “Understanding the magnetic connection between sub-photospheric layers and the solar corona”. We are pleased to have both Karel Schrijver (LMSAL) and Fernando Moreno-Insertis (Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias) giving invited reviews in this session! Simulation of Quiet Sun magnetic fields in a domain extending from the solar convection zone into the low corona (Abbett SHINE 2006 poster) Fieldlines from a synthetic Quiet Sun chromospheric magnetogram from the above simulation Fieldlines from a coupled, active region flux emergence simulation

Coronal Hole Session RECONCILING OBSERVED AND MODELED CORONAL HOLES Me (Wed. morning) Modified EIT figure from Malanushenko and Jones (2004) Images from Carl Henney’s talk

Types of Coronal Holes: Polar: Equatorial: Transient: Generally large and long-lived Appear suddenly near the location of a CME, typically forming in less than 1 hr and fading within 1-2 days

Why study coronal holes? They are the source of high-speed streams and possibly slow wind…… CHs play an important role in the nature and structure of the solar wind/heliosphere CHs play an important role in the nature and structure of the solar wind/heliosphere

“Observations of Coronal Holes in Different Wavelengths and the Associated Problems” Giuliana deToma: “Observations of Coronal Holes in Different Wavelengths and the Associated Problems” Invited Speakers: Giuliana deToma, Carl Henney, “SOLIS/VSM Coronal Hole Estimation Maps” Carl Henney: “SOLIS/VSM Coronal Hole Estimation Maps” -- this talk will focus on He I (10830 nm) and automation of coronal hole finding schemes automation of coronal hole finding schemes Coronal Hole Observations

Coronal Hole Modeling Invited Speaker: Roberto Lionello “Modeling of Coronal Holes” -- How the Wang & Sheeley and Fisk models deal with reconciling quasi-rigid rotation w/ the differential rotation of the photospheric magnetic flux underneath -- Will present results obtained with a computational MHD code that self-consistently models the corona and the solar wind and calculates the response of CHs to the evolution of the photospheric magnetic flux

Predicting Solar Cycle 24 Ian Richardson (Thurs. afternoon)

Predicting the Size of Solar Cycle 24 The size of the ~11 year sunspot number cycle varies with time. Observations back to ~1600, show e.g.,: Relatively large cycles during much of the 20 th century; Relatively large cycles during much of the 20 th century; A ~ 100 year variation (Gleisberg cycle); A ~ 100 year variation (Gleisberg cycle); The “Maunder Minimum”, corresponding to the “Little Ice Age”, suggesting a link between solar activity and climatic conditions. The “Maunder Minimum”, corresponding to the “Little Ice Age”, suggesting a link between solar activity and climatic conditions. London Frost Fair, 1683

Why try to predict cycle 24? Understand fundamental solar processes that link the core dynamo/subsurface/photospheric phenomena; Implications for terrestrial climate/space assets over the next decade; solar contribution to global warming How? Predict future from past behavior, e.g, identification of quasi- periodic features in recorded solar activity levels; Identify proxies during solar minima that may correlate with the size of the next maximum (e.g., field strength in polar coronal holes; geomagnetic activity) Models based on physics of the solar dynamo/sub surface processes using recent cycles as input conditions.
