Agenda for meeting on 12-15 February, 2019

ISSI team during Feb. 2019 meeting

Link to presentations (restricted)

Tuesday (starting 9 am at ISSI) – Overall theme – Historical Datasets – current state and what remains to be done.

  • Welcome, administration, meeting goals (Alexei)
  • Current status and issues related to merging Kodaikanal and MWO datasets of CaK spectroheliograms into a single series:
    • Luca Bertello “Closing the book on 70 years of MWO Ca II K observations”
    • Theodosios (Theo) Chatzestergos “Update on analisis  of several historical Ca II K archives”
    • Alexander Pevtsov “From Sunspot Drawings to Magnetograms: Preserving 100 years of Mt. Wilson Observatory Solar Observations”
    • Discussion: how to deal with plage non-uniformities between KSO and MWO data and other important issues relevant to KSO and MWO datasets
    • Splinter meetings

Wednesday (starting 9 am at ISSI) Overall theme – Converting plage images into pseudo magnetograms

10:00 AM  Skype presentation by Dipankar Benerjee “The Kodaikanal digitised archive”

  • Iiro Virtanen, “Reconstructing magnetic fields from CaK observations”
  • Ismo Tähtinen “On relationship between plage (UV) brightness and magnetic flux”
  • Anthony Yeates “Using prominence data for optimization (of surface flux transport model)”
  • Jha Bibhuti Kumar “Unfolding new results from Kodaikanal White light digitized data”
  • Discussion (what are remaining open questions about creating pseudo-magnetograms from non-magnetic data).
  • Splinter meetings

Thursday AM (starting 9 am at ISSI) Overall theme – Using pseudo-magnetograms in modeling

  • Meeting together with other ISSI team (afternoon? 1 hour session?)
  • Ilpo Virtanen “Coronal modelling using observed and simulated photospheric magnetic field as a boundary condition”
  • Kalevi Mursula “Centennial evolution of the global solar magnetic field from geomagnetic observations”
  • Splinter meetings

Friday AM (starting 9 am at ISSI)

Final discussions of all issues, what needs to be done next for “closure” of our project in about 6 months.

Meeting summary.

Friday PM travel back home and any additional discussions by the members of team staying in Bern that day.
