WHOLE SUN MONTH GOALS

There are two main goals of the WHOLE SUN MONTH campaign:

1) We wish to quantify the physical properties (i.e. density, temperature, magnetic field, and velocity) of the 3-dimensional, large scale, stable solar minimum corona during Whole Sun Month, between approximately 1 and 3 solar radii.

2) We wish to test and use this information with models connecting the corona to in situ observations of the solar wind.

Working groups to address these goals were set up at the Whole Sun Month Workshop .
