1. Science Teams

2. Scientific Coordination Objectives Lessons from GONG An LWS/HMI Case in Point

3. Objectives Focus Enable efforts larger in scale than an individual, or individual group, could undertake Impact instrument & operations development, and initial scientific & operational capability [  60 months] Unlock the resources to do the work

4. GONG Teams Membership –Privileged access to data –Contribution to team objectives –Publication of program Original Teams –Inversions –Models –Low Frequency –Data Reduction and Analysis –Nearly Steady Flows and Magnetic Fields –Magnetic Effects –Mode Physics Teams –Some were important in formulation and then withered away –Some were extremely vital and played a major role in advancing the overall science –Darwin

5. Local Helioseismology Comparison Validate local-helioseismology methodologies & results pre-launch to achieve LWS/SDO objectives Some participants: H. Antia, C. Barban, S. Basu, R. Bogart, D. Braun, D-Y. Chou, J. Christensen-Dalsgaard, T. Corbard, T. Duvall, L. Gizon, I. Gonzalez Hernandez, D. Haber, J. Harvey, C. Henney, F. Hill, B. Hindman, R. Howe, S. Hughes, J M Jensen, R. Komm, S. Korzennik, A. Kosovichev, J. Leibacher, C. Lindsey, P. Rajaguru, E. Rhodes, P. Rose, P. Scherrer, J. Schou, S. Kholikov, M-T. Sun, M. Thompson, C. Toner, J. Toomre, M. Woodard, J. Zhao,and anybody else who would like to join the party Umbrella/glue/support structure a la GONG Teams

6. A Possible Approach to TR&T Each participant has own proposal –Collective science words and identification with team stapled to front of each individual’s proposal –Commit to support science activities of team –Synergistic value is beneficial to individaul + Umbrella –Science coordination –Meeting support –Joint publication costs

7. Issues ?Membership ?Central Committee vs Federation ?Umbrella/Science Support ?How “LWS”y for technical efforts ?Real value added
