Workshop
Time-Distance Helioseismology
and Helioseismic
Holography
Stanford, CA
July
20-22, 2009
The traditional summer workshop on Time-Distance Helioseismology and
Acoustic Holography will be held on July 20-22, 2009, at Stanford, CA.
The main goal of this informal workshop is to discuss the recent
progress
in the time-distance helioseismology, acoustic imaging and
holography
techniques, theoretical interpretation of new results, realistic
numerical
simulations, perspectives and plans for analysis of SDO/HMI, SOHO/MDI,
Hinode/SOT, and GONG data.
Among the topics for discussion are:
-
theoretical and empirical models of wave propagation and sensitivity
kernels;
-
advances in the measurement and inversion techniques;
-
testing helioseismic inferences with realistic numerical simulations;
-
wave interaction with magnetic fields;
-
diagnostics of small-scale structures;
-
sunquakes, high-frequency waves and atmospheric seismology;
-
large-scale, meridional flows and solar-cycle effects;
-
structure and dynamics of active regions and emerging magnetic flux;
-
tachocline and far-side imaging;
-
calibration of Doppler measurements;
-
local helioseismology results from SOHO, GONG and Hinode;
-
software development for the HMI data analysis pipeline;
-
new approaches to data analysis, modeling, data assimilation, etc.
The workshop will take place in the conference room (102/103) in
the new Astrophysics Building at Stanford. The directions and hotel
