   WIND NEAR MINIMUM ACTIVITY

5th SOHO WORKSHOP: THE CORONA AND SOLAR WIND NEAR MINIMUM ACTIVITY
17-20 June 1997  (PLEASE NOTE: REVISED DATES)
Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Oslo, Oslo

GENERAL INFORMATION

After one year of SOHO operation, the SOHO Science Working Team would
like to review the impact of SOHO observations on solar physics.

The 5th SOHO workshop will concentrate on processes and phenomena in
the solar atmosphere and solar wind. Together the coronal and particle
instruments on SOHO offer a comprehensive approach to investigations of
these phenomena which is furthermore extended by frequent
collaborations with ground based observatories, Yohkoh, and other
spacecraft. Reviewing the results obtained so far will present the
user community with input to shape the future program of SOHO science.

Proposed themes include:
 - Structures, features and dynamics of the solar transition region
   and corona at minimum activity, including slow solar wind
 - Coronal holes and the high speed solar wind
 - Photospheric magnetic elements and their coronal manifestations
 - "Quiet Sun" features: Network, bright-points, explosive events, other

The themes may be adjusted based on the submittals of the participants.  
Presentations covering investigations with the relevant SOHO instruments, 
observations and theoretical interpretation, are welcome.

The workshop will have oral talks in plenum, invited and contributed,
and poster presentations. Time will furthermore be allocated to
parallel workshop sessions, to discuss the scientific subjects and
on-going and future investigations. Reports from the working groups
will be presented in a closing plenary session

It should be noted that the contributions of SOHO to helioseismology
will be reviewed at the 6th SOHO Workshop, held later at a different
location.

DEDICATION OF THE MEETING

The 5th SOHO Workshop will be dedicated to Bruce Patchett who died
September 12 1996. The solar physics community owes much to Bruce, who
was one of the original proposers of SOHO and participated in the
Phase A study team. He was Principal Investigator for CDS from its
inception until 1992, and guided the instrument through selection and
design stages. Since 1992 he was active in a leadership position in
the commercial arm of RAL.
