Overview

Join with the COFFIES (Consequences of Fields and Flows in the Interior and Exterior of the Sun) Team to explore how to work together to understand the workings of the Solar Cycle.

This meetings focuses on three scientific themes that are ripe for advance: The Solar Tachocline, Magnetic Flux Transport and Emergence, and the Near-Surface Shear Layer. Other topics include Model Integration and contributing Science areas of Helioseismology, Dynamo Modeling, Solar Convection, and Links to Photospheric Observations and status of the COFFIES DRIVE Science Center.

The meeting will be held on Friday August 12, 2022 at 08:00 PDT following the official SPD/TESS meeting.

We look forward to seeing you all at TESS!

Lodging

We have arranged for a block of hotel rooms to be held at special rate at the TESS conference hotel (Hyatt) for the night of Friday August 12th, 2022. To get that rate you need to use the button below.

If you have any problems please contact Michelle Valero at SWRI.

Unfortunately, this cannot be used for the days earlier in the week for the TESS meeting -- that needs to be done separately and if there are issues, you will need to contact the TESS organizers. However, if you have already gotten a reservation at the Hyatt for those days, we recommend that you contact the hotel to link those reservations.
