Summary of NASA LWS TR&T Focus Team: “Predict Emergence of Solar Active Regions Before they are Visible”

Goals and measures of success: The goal of this Focused Science Topic is to develop, test, and refine techniques for the detection of active regions before they are visible, the exploration of techniques to determine whether preemergent or newly emerged active regions will grow and become flare-productive, and to explore how such knowledge could be incorporated into downstream predictive models of the outer corona and heliosphere. The prime measure of success for this work will be to demonstrate a statistically significant ability to predict the location of new active regions before they are visible on the surface of the Sun and also their evolution.

The Team = everyone funded under this focus topic MSU: PI Stein, Nordlund, Georgobiani, Schaffenberger, Benson Stanford: Science PI Kosovichev, Scherrer, Zhao CoRA Near-side team: PI Birch, Braun, Leka, Barnes, Crouch, Werne, & Lindsey CoRA Far-side team: PI Lindsey NSO: PI Hill, Gonzalez-Hernandez, Komm, Burtseva

Summary of Yesterday’s Meeting Irene: Calibrating Far-Side images Rudi: Vertical flows in emerging active regions Olga: Time-distance of an emerging active region KD: Target selection, preparing data sets to test prediction methods Graham: Discriminant analysis (Statistical Bob: Progress on simulations Junwei: Time-distance far-side imaging. Time-distance emerging AR. Sasha: “Compare inversions results, not travel-times” Charlie: Plans & motivation for modeling the interaction of waves with a magnetic flux tube Doug: estimate of travel-time shift from a rising flux tube

rising flux tube properties (Slide from Doug) thin flux tube calculations (Fan & Gong 2000) two days before emergence: depth z ~ 60 Mm speed vr ~ 150 m/s let diameter ~ fz (f ≤ 1 !) travel-time perturbation time s rms of single corr. ≥10 s can get N~100 correlations (maybe); error of mean ≥ 1s direct detection of vr (probably) unlikely, but…? va vr (rise speed)
