__18th March__

''This page refers to one day of a closed [meeting of the EIS consortium|TeamMeetingMar09]''

[{TableOfContents }]

\\
!!Contributions now solicited!

Those without an EISWiki account or access can mail their comments and intended contribution topics to David Williams.

!!!Technical

!!Report from Technical Splinter Meeting (previous day)
* 09:00 (Khalid Al-Janabi)


!!Analysis Software

!Status of the reduction package
* 10:00 EIS_PREP (Alessandro Gardini)

!Useful additional software
''(With descriptions or demonstrations)''
* 10:15 Gaussian fitting routines for EIS (Peter Young)
* A quick display method (David Williams)

!!Choosing data
* A discussion about how to access the kind of data you might be looking for.

\\
!!!Science

!!EIS Science Achievements
Each national PI will give their perspective on the scientific achievements of EIS in its first 2.5 years. These are personal perspectives on where we stand on two things:
# phenomena and scientific issues that were known before launch
# the discoveries Hinode has made with EIS
( they won't necessarily agree :-) )
*11:30 Tetsuya Watanabe
*11:50 Louise Harra
*12:10 George Doschek


!!EIS Science Results

Talks should put special emphasis on unsolved components in the context of what they talk about, and how they can be addressed using all three instruments on Hinode. 

15 minutes per presentation is the guideline until I know how many talks there will be. 
\\
''(Hint: I’m leaving ISAS next week(!), so please get me your title before  evening JST on Thursday 5th March, or you might not get a fair slot.)''



!Quiet Sun
__Talks solicited!__\\

!Active Regions
* Cambridge active region studies (Helen Mason)
* The thermal structure of active regions (Harry Warren)

!Coronal Holes
__Talks solicited!__\\

!Flares
Evaporated Plasma (Ryan Milligan)

!Science with other, non-Hinode instruments
I’d also like to solicit talks on any of the wealth of cross-observatory data taken over Hinode’s life so far (Hinode-SUMER campaigns, regular CDS co-observing, TRACE co-observing, WHI 2008, etc.) What projects do we have (under-way or recently completed) with these multi-instrument observations that couldn’t otherwise be tackled?


!Techniques
* __Line identifications with EIS and CHIANTI__ (Peter Young)
* __Diagnostics with the slot__ (Ignacio Ugarte)
** ''...a look to how absolute units in slot images compare to slit rasters and what diagnostics we can obtain from them (density, DEM). It could be interesting for EIS users.''

13:30 Observing: Techniques & Strategies
What we’ve learned to date on observing with the S-band antenna 
* Some techniques for observing (David Williams)
** Problems
** Some examples of studies that have proven useful in overcoming these problems
** Prospects & challenges for the future:
* How do we address observing challenging targets like flares?
**Flares (Ryan Milligan)
** Very active regions (Harry Warren / John Mariska)


\\
!!!Communicating with the Outside World
!!Promoting science results to the immediate and wider science community
!EIS Website & Wiki
These are our public face for information. Will talk about:
* Changes made since last year
* How to increase participation
* Good practice 
** Keeping the contents up-to-date
* New types of content

!!Communicating EIS Science beyond the professional science community
__Ideas solicited!__

 The agenda looks fine overall.  Here are a few suggestions:  Under Technical Session would it be worthwhile having a topic on “study-creation in the S-band era – prospects, problems, and experience” ?  And what about the studies we are supposed to be preparing in the S-band era for solar maximum, e.g., flare studies?  Under Science Results you might have a specific topic dealing with “EIS with other instruments science”, such as for example results from the EIS/SUMER campaigns.  This would deal with research where key measurements are made with at least one instrument other than EIS, and not be concerned with research in which other instruments are used primarily for context.  But maybe this topic is unnecessary and can be part of your other science topics.
 
If I think of other possibilities I will let you know.

Besides talk about EISWIki on science meeting (18th) may I suggest that we also have a discussion on our main website to find out which are good /bad, and what we can improve to deliver better information and services to scientists and public? Since launched in May 2007, we added plenty of contents on the website. Some of them maybe old and some may need to change. So it's good to have all your opinions

Could you add another item to the agenda?
That is to look at how we keep a log of interesting events seen in EIS data. 
...
We talked about it on and off before launch but it would be good to try and
get some simple log in place.

I am thinking to prepare a short presentation of eis_prep and
of the moment computation in xfiles for the "Analysis Software"
session on the 18th.
I think everybody should indeed be already very aware of it,
but it can help as a schematic reminder for an eventual discussion.
