Heliophysics Observatories Bulletin Board: Design and implementation
Leaders: Mark Cheung
The aim of setting up a Heliophysics Observatory Bulletin Board is to encourage coordinated Heliophysics observations even when no joint observing programs have been planned and agreed upon. The concept of the Bulletin Board is to allow observers using different instruments/observatories to post up-to-date information (e.g. field of view of telescope) about their most recent (e.g. last 24 hours), current and planned upcoming (e.g. next 24 hours) observations. The anticipation is that if everyone knows what everyone else is/was observing, there will be a better chance of matching up complementary data sets for collaborative science studies.
One possible design of the Bulletin Board may simply be a webpage with an SDO image of a solar disk, overlaid with bounding boxes indicating the fields of view of different observatories in the same time period. Latest events and features from the Heliophysics Knowledge Base may also be included to provide context.
Everyone is invited to participate in the discussion to help design this system.
