Phase Relations Between Variations in Solar Surface Velocity and Magnetic Fields

Lead Investigator: R.K. Ulrich

Team Members: A.A. Norton

Technical Summary:
We propose to determine the phase relations between variations in velocities and magnetic fields in the solar photosphere. The observed phase relations will provide information about the generation and propogation of Alfven waves in the solar atmosphere and the consequent energy flux. The study will utilize SOI-MDI high resolution campaign data and possible some high-rate continuing observing sequences which return near simultaneous images of surface velocity and magnetic fields.
