Local Helioseismology Comparisons Workshop, Apr 2010

LoHCo Workshop:
Local Helioseismology of HMI Test Data
Stanford University April 19–21, 2010

Goals

The primary purpose of this workshop is to apply local helioseismology techniques to test data sequences from the HMI instrument in order to provide guidance in the instrument calibration and final preparation of observing sequences and data reduction pipelines.
