Inter-Division B-E WG Coordination of Synoptic Observations of the Sun — Functional

Description

The mission of this working group is to facilitate international collaboration in synoptic long-term solar observations, which includes past, current, and future synoptic programs, preservation, calibration, and access to synoptic solar data products. The working group provides a forum for discussion of all issues relevant to synoptic long-term observations of the Sun including (but not limited to) coordination between synoptic programs in different countries (both in respect to exchange of information and planning for future synoptic programs) and a proper calibration of historical data from different sources (e.g., sunspot drawings, CaK plage indices, magnetic field measurements etc).

______

Functional Working Groups are Working Groups whose scope and purpose are institutional and naturally extend beyond the IAU three-year cycle.

These should have a maximum automatic lifespan of 6 years. Their Functional status should be revisited at that 6-year mark by the EC and a decision should be taken on whether the Functional WG should be renewed or terminated. The Functional WG Chair would also follow the 6-year term and the renewal of the Chair would also be discussed at this time.
