1. ANNOUNCEMENT OF AGU SPECIAL SESSION SH01 AND INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Gerard Van Hoven (VANHOVEN@vmsa.oac.uci.edu) 

This is to announce Session SH01 at the Spring Meeting [5/29-6/2/95
in Baltimore] of the American Geophysical Union, and to solicit 
theoretical and observational contributions.

AGU SPECIAL SESSION SH01:  THE GENERATION OF SOLAR ACTIVITY:  
			   INTERACTION OF SIMULATIONS WITH MEASUREMENTS

In recent years there has been great progress in numerical simulation
of the physical processes believed to be central to understanding
solar structure and activity. Dynamic three-dimensional simulation 
has become a powerful tool for investigating important solar phenomena
such as the magnetic dynamo, solar convection, coronal heating, 
and magnetic activity.  In conjunction with the advances in dynamic
simulations, there has been considerable progress in high resolution
measurements of the Sun's surface and atmosphere from ground-based
observatories and from space-based instrumentation such as Yohkoh. 
We expect that data of even higher resolution and accuracy will soon 
be available from SOHO, TRACE and SOLAR-B. With the advent of 
massively-parallel processors, we also expect that simulations will 
make great progress in the next few years, with realistic and 
comprehensive models being developed that can lead to forecasting 
capabilities.  Hence, it is now timely to address the issue of the 
comparison between the diagnostics available from simulations and 
measurements.  This session will engage both solar observers and 
plasma theorists in order to exchange information on the latest 
results from models and experiments, and to lay the groundwork for 
an effective integration of future measurements and simulations.

This session is planned to span 1 1/2 days, the first day to include
a set of complementary invited talks covering simulations and 
experiments, along with a number of contributed papers.  The second 
half day will be devoted to poster presentations.  The conveners 
invite your participation, both by paper submission and through 
spirited discussion.

When you submit a paper for this session (SH01), in time for the 
3/9/95 abstract deadline, please direct a copy to the conveners.
Thanks.
