Mauna Loa Solar Observatory (MLSO)
Mauna Loa Solar Observatory (MLSO),operated by the Hight Altitude Observatory in Boulder Colorado, houses several instruments designed to observe the sun at many different wavelengths. The MLSO instruments provide observations needed to understand the sun's continuous release of plasma and energy into interplanetary space.

GONG Network
The Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) is a community-based program to conduct a detailed study of solar internal structure and dynamics using helioseismology. In order to exploit this new technique, GONG has developed a six-station network of extremely sensitive, and stable velocity imagers located around the Earth to obtain nearly continuous observations of the Sun's "five-minute" oscillations, or pulsations. |

Early Polar Cap Observatory
Support future Advanced Modular Incoherent Scatter Radar (AMISR) operation at Resolute to study the interaction between the magnetosphere and ionosphere and the coupling between the thermosphere and ionosphere inside the polar cap. |

National Solar Observatory
The National Solar Observatory (NSO) provides forefront optical research
facilities for the use of the community. In addition, NSO collaborates with and provides expertise to other
institutions that wish to improve their facilities. NSO also acquires solar observational data and distributes
data to the research community and the public. |

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias
At present, there are telescopes and other intrumentation belonging to over 60 institutions from 19 countries at the Teide Observatory (Tenerife) and the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (La Palma). This observational group, with the scientific and technical facilities provided by the IAC at its headquarters Instituto de Astrofísica in La Laguna (Tenerife) and in combination with the planned Common Centre for Astrophysics on La Palma, jointly constitute the "European Northern Observatory" (ENO).

Virtual Solar Terrestrial Observatory
The Virtual Solar-Terrestrial Observatory (VSTO) - a collaborative project between the High Altitude Observatory and Scientific Computing Division of the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the Knowledge Systems Lab at Stanford University. VSTO is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) in the Shared Cyberinfrastructure (SCI) division. |
