AGU/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, as listed above, along with a number of contributed 
papers.  The second half day will be devoted to poster presentations.  
The conveners and speakers 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.
