Brief project summary

• Goal: (to develop methods and) to study the evolution of magnetic activity over several past solar cycles.
  • Step 1: Creation of pseudo-magnetograms using historical observations.
  • Step 2: Derive polar and weak field
  • Step 3: Applying the resulting data to modeling past solar activity

Challenges

• Non-uniformity of historical datasets
• What is the relation between K-line and magnetic flux?
• Evaluate parameter space for SFT models
• Applying the resulting data to modeling various aspects of solar activity

“Game” rules

• True partnership:
  • Publication of related results (all-inclusive co-authorship?)
  • Share all data that resulted from team’s activity with all team members
  • Make data public upon completion of project
• Acknowledgement (include ISSI)
