-
Determine empirical constraints on theoretical models of the solar wind from particular
coronal structures from coordinated UVCS, LASCO and CELIAS observations.
-
For various coronal structures, derive observational constraints on models
describing the freezing-in temperature, ionization state and abundance of hydrogen, oxygen,
silicon, magnesium and iron. Compare the results with those obtained from
CELIAS ``in situ" measurements.
-
Derive the geometry of coronal structures from 2D scans with the UVCS white
light channel and LASCO observations.
-
Map different solar wind streams from their source region into
interplanetary space through coordinated and simultaneous ground and space
based observations.
-
Perform coordinated observations with UVCS, MDI magnetograms and ground based
magnetograms; for example, determine the magnetic fields in polar coronal
holes and plumes.
-
Used coordinated observations with UVCS, CDS, EIT and SUMER to trace the
evolution of coronal structures.
