Progress in Analyzing MWO 60-Foot Tower Archive Amount of Data Already Transferred to Stanford Recent Progress in Extending Zonal Flow Studies Back to Solar Cycle 22 Recent Progress in Generating Flow Maps from MWO Ring Diagrams in 1995, 1996, and 2001.

MDI-Era 60-Ft Data Already Transferred to Stanford (as of August 31, 2005)

Progress in Analyzing MWO 60-Foot Tower Archive Comparison of MDI and MWO Flow Maps from 1996 and 2001 hav e demonstrated that 60-Foot Tower field of view rotates very slowly during each observing day. GONG and USC software routines have been used to estimate this image rotation. MWO flow maps have been generated with correction for changing p-angles. These flow maps suggest geometric differences which we now are trying to understand.

Recent Progress in Ridge-Fitting Have Made Progress in the Fitting of both unaveragted and m-averaged power spectra. Unaveraged spectra are now fit using much wider spatial leakage matrices to correctly include Woodard effect distortions. Unaveraged spectra can now be fit for degrees between 45 and 1000. Averaged spectra now include n-leaks in fitted profile. Frequency errors have been greatly diminished in the fitting of unaveraged spectra.
