RHESSI/SOHO/TRACE Workshop:
Coordinated observations of flares and CMEs
Sonoma, California, December 8-11, 2004
Objectives of workshop:
We intend to have a workshop oriented towards
the synthesis of data from the satellites and
also ground-based data. The basic idea is to
have manageably small working groups on specific
topics, so that we can get maximal exchange of
ideas and (we hope) the fostering of new research
arrangements. There will be no set presentations
other than the four introductory talks, but
participants may present posters. Thus the
emphasis of the workshop will be on actual
research work. To minimize the overhead we
will not plan to have any published proceedings,
but we fully expect that the workshop will stim-
ulate research that will lead directly to published
papers. Working groups will be encouraged to use
the Web to record as much as possible of the mate-
rial presented or developed at the workshop itself.
The facilities include broad-band wireless Internet
connections in the meeting rooms.
