HMI Science Team Meeting 2009

HMI Science Team Meeting

September 8-11, 2009, Stanford, CA

The science team of the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) investigation on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) will meet together on September 8-11, 2009, at Stanford, CA.

The purpose of this last meeting before the SDO launch is to discuss the development and implementation of the data analysis procedures for the Joint Science Operations Center (JSOC), identify top priority needs and schedules for HMI science projects, and discuss the initial science focus topics.

The Tuesday sessions will take place in the 102/103 conference room in the Physics & Astrophysics Building.
The Wednesday and Thursday sessions will be held in room 111 in the Yang and Yamazaki Environment and Energy Building: Y2E2 Building.
Also see the map selections at Meeting Locations
