1. 11/10/05 H1:Local Helioseismology I: Current Issues Science Goal and Approach Sessions Chair(s): Kosovichev/Toomre Status: [draft]

2. 11/10/05 S-2: Science questions and tasks Local helioseismology already provides unprecedented views of the Sun's interior 3D structures and flows, sunspots, active regions, and even the far-side activity. These all remain critical areas for achieving the HMI science objectives.

3. 11/10/05 S-2: Science questions and tasks What is needed to adequately measure the meridional and other 3D flows? How do we link the helioseismic measurements on different scales to the SDO photospheric, coronal and irradiance data? How can we develop the predictive capabilities of local helioseismology?

5. 11/10/05 S-2: Science questions and tasks What are the primary targets and most critical issues of these investigations? How can we extend the local helioseismology measurements through the convection zone? What is needed to understand small-scale magnetic fields, sunspots, and active region? How best can we image the tachocline and 3D structures?

6. 11/10/05 S-3: Science context What progress has already been made? Where do we expect answers before launch? Where do we plan to concentrate our efforts?

7. 11/10/05 S-4: Implementation What do we need to make progress on the science questions in general? –Should a TR&T focused topic be made? Discussion point –Suggestion for Helioseismology Working groups Time-Distance & Holography Global Helioseismology & Rings Local Helioseismology Comparison (LoHCo) –Observables, models, codes, resources, techniques, people … –Schedules, meetings, splinters, etc.

10. 11/10/05 Juri: –Why no clear detection of the giant cells? Need 3-components of flow fields, supergranulation may hide GC flows of 50 m/s. –Meridional circulation – multi-celled structure? Crucial for dynamo flux transport. Need to probe deeper. –Flows near Magnetism. Who pushes them around? Complex mode conversion. Continuous subsurface mapping – fast analysis pipeline. Flow near filaments. –Theory and simulation of large-scale flows
