'What makes the solar corona so hot is still a mystery, but these views of Alfven waves provide important new clues,' says Paul Bellaire, program director in NSF's Division of Atmospheric Sciences, which funded the research. 'This discovery may lead to new ways of detecting the onset of solar storms.'

"Scientists have long realized that observations of solar magnetic fields are the keys that will unlock the secrets of the sun's interior," said Paul Bellaire, program director in NSF's division of atmospheric sciences, which funded the research.

"Scientists have long realized that solar magnetic fields hold the key to tapping the vast energy reservoir locked in the Sun's interior," said Paul Bellaire, program director in NSF's division of atmospheric sciences.

'Scientists have long realized that observations of solar magnetic fields are the keys that will unlock the secrets of the sun's interior,' said Paul Bellaire, program director in NSF's division of atmospheric sciences, which funded the research. 'These researchers have found an ingenious way of using magnetic keys to pick those locks.'

"Forecasting the solar cycle will help society anticipate solar storms," says Paul Bellaire, program director in NSF's division of atmospheric sciences, which funded the research.

"CoMP will deliver measurable benefits to the nation and the global space physics community," says Paul Bellaire, program director for NSF's solar terrestrial research.

'Forecasting the solar cycle will help society anticipate solar storms,' said Paul Bellaire, programme director of NSF's division of atmospheric sciences.

"Finding out that a hurricane is bearing down on you isn't much good if the warning only gives you an hour to prepare," said Paul Bellaire, program director in NSF's Division of Atmospheric Sciences, which funded the research.
