U.S.-China Cooperative Research: Solar Seismological and Long-Term Variability Studies

研究目的是获得和分析 SCLERA拍摄的太阳振荡和长期太阳变率 (The亚利桑那大学圣卡塔利纳实验室 天体测量实验相对论）和云南天文台 中国昆明附近。 国际合作已经 为了提供太阳的观测， 一天中相当大的一部分，因此， 假昼夜信号的其他严重影响， 一个网站的数据。 观察结果将通过 SCLERA太阳地震仪目前在 亚利桑那大学和云南天文台。 该组 设施提供研究和教育机会， 美国和中国科学家的太阳物理学前沿 通过一个相对低成本的地面计划。 第一 预计国际合作将取得成果 改善了关于内部区域结构的信息， 太阳和长期的太阳变化，这可能有一个 对地球气候长期变化的影响。

The research objectives are to obtain and analyze observations of solar oscillations and long-term solar variability taken at SCLERA (The University of Arizona Santa Catalina Laboratory for Experimental Relativity by Astrometry) and at Yunnan Observatory near Kunming, China. The international collaboration has been organized in order to furnish observations of the Sun covering a sizeable fraction of a day and, consequently, to significantly reduce the otherwise serious effects of false diurnal signals present in the data of a single site. The observations will be obtained with the SCLERA solar seismographs currently in operation at the University of Arizona and at Yunnan Observatory. The set of facilities offers research and educational opportunities that are at the forefront of solar physics for both U.S. and Chinese scientists through a relatively low-cost ground-based program. The first results from the international cooperation are expected to yield improved information about the structure of the interior regions of the Sun and about long-term solar variability, which may have an impact on long-term variations in the Earth's climate.
