Whole Heliosphere IntervalOriginating from Carrington Rotation 2068: March 20 - April 16, 2008
WHI Topical Issue of Solar PhysicsThe WHI-themed Topical Issue of the journal Solar Physics, "The Sun-Earth Connection near Solar Minimum," is now available. The December 2011 (Volume 274, Nos. 1 - 2) contains 27 articles on the nature of the Sun, heliosphere and geospace near solar minimum, and comparisons between this and past minima. Congratulations to everyone who made this special publication possible!
IAU Working Group on Comparative Solar MinimaOverview of WHI vs. WSM and in the context of the current solar minimumThe Whole Heliosphere Interval is an international coordinated observing and modeling effort to characterize the 3-dimensional interconnected solar-heliospheric-planetary system. Overview: Learn about WHI, its basic campaign logistics, and its scientific motivation and heritage. Science Goals: WHI's science begins with the solar interior and extends through the heliosphere and interplanetary space out to the heliopause. WHI Observations and Models: A list of the observatories, spacecraft, instrument networks that will be performing scientific measurements during WHI, as well as planned modeling efforts. WHI: The People: A comprehensive list of the scientists participating in WHI. Synoptic Observing Plans: Many participating observatories will be running a continuous "synoptic" set of observations, to provide baseline measurements of the heliophysical system. Targeted Observing Plans: Many "targeted" observing campaigns will run within the WHI timeframe. These campaigns involve day-to-day coordinated observations of heliospheric subregions in order to address specific scientific questions. WHI News and Updates: Look here for a brief review of what has changed, and what is new with WHI. WHI Master Calendar: A comprehensive schedule of WHI campaigns, planning activities, and science activities.
