Construct empirical models of coronal holes which specify particle temperatures, densities, outflow velocities
and abundances.
-
Construct empirical models of streamers which specify particle temperatures, densities, outflow velocities
and abundances.
-
Construct empirical models of quiet coronal regions which specify particle temperatures, densities
outflow velocities, and abundances.
-
Construct empirical models of streamers with an adjacent coronal hole.
-
Construct empirical models of coronal holes, streamers, and quiet coronal regions at
the base of the corona (1 R
< R < 1.5 R
).
-
Use synoptic observations and tomographic techniques to determine local values of
coronal plasma parameters.
-
Use observations over a prolonged period to study the morphology of various
coronal structures.
-
Measure temperatures, densities, and outflow velocities of protons,
electrons and minor ions in fine scale structures such as polar plumes and
the closed loops and open field structures of helmet streamers.
-
Measure temperatures, densities, particle outflow velocities and abundances in CMEs.
-
Measure neutral hydrogen temperatures in coronal holes at heights above 3
solar radii.
