Synoptic Studies of Solar Velocity and Magnetic Fields Using the 150-foot Solar Tower on Mt. Wilson

大多数对太阳的研究需要长时间的观测。 因此 世界各地都设立了各种监测站， 在不同的时间尺度上研究太阳现象。 一个 在美国，太阳观测的一个重要来源是150英尺高的 “太阳塔”望远镜，位于加州的威尔逊山。 这个设施几乎在每一个晴朗的日子都被使用， 近23年来，我国开展了大、中尺度速度和磁场研究， 太阳表面的特征。 此外，它的妹妹90- 每天都要用一个脚塔来画太阳黑子。 这些附图 被传送到国家海洋和大气 对太阳耀斑事件进行预测的政府机构， 评估它们对地球磁层的影响。 校长 研究者（PI）建议在以下时间继续进行这些观察： 未来三年 在新的补助金期间， 太阳能项目或航天器将发射，如太阳能 轨道太阳天文台，“MAX 91”太阳活动最大值 运动和全球振荡网络小组网络， 将利用太阳振荡来推断内部旋转， 太阳的密度结构 山脉威尔逊观察 直接支持这些企业每一个晴朗的日子，提供一个 广泛的、同质的磁活动和气流数据集 在太阳表面。

Most studies of the Sun require observations over time. Thus a variety of monitoring stations have been set around the world to study solar phenomena on a variety of timescales. An important source of solar observations in the U.S. is the 150-foot "solar tower" telescope, located on Mount Wilson in California. This facility has been used on virtually every clear day for the last 23 years to study large and medium scale velocity and magnetic features on the surface of the Sun. In addition, its sister 90- foot tower is used daily to make sunspot drawings. These drawings are transmitted to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration which make forecasts of solar flare events and assesses their impact on the Earth's magnetosphere. The Principal Investigator (PI) proposes to continue these observations over the next three years. During the new grant period a variety of large solar projects or spacecraft will be launched, such as the Solar Orbiting Helio-Observatory, the "MAX 91" solar-activity maximum campaign, and the Global Oscillation Network Group network, which will utilize solar oscillations to infer the interior rotation and density structure of the Sun. The Mt. Wilson observations will directly support these enterprises every clear day by providing an extensive, homogenous dataset of magnetic activity and gas flows on the solar surface.
