Objective
The space-based solar and heliospheric observatory (SOHO) is a joint venture of the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA within the frame of the solar terrestrial science programme (STSP), the first cornerstone of ESA's long-term programme 'Space Science - Horizon 2000'. The main scientific goals of the SOHO mission are to obtain a better understanding of the structure and dynamics of the solar interior using techniques of helioseismology, and to reach a better insight into the physical processes that form and heat the Sun's corona, maintain it, and give rise to its acceleration into the solar wind.
To ensure a successful mission and to maximise the scientific output it is crucial to have a close and efficient co-operation between SOHO and ground-based solar observatories (GBOs). Synoptic ground-based solar data (white light, CaK and H (images, magnetograms, coronal maps, etc.) are vitally needed both for science operations planning of the SOHO payload as well as for correlative data analysis later on during the scientific exploitation of the SOHO data.
Special support for SOHO is sought from the GBOs in Mitaka, Nobeyama, Norikura (all in Japan), Huairou (China), Ondrejov (Czech Republic), Pic du Midi (France), Izana (Tenerife), Huntsville, the National Solar Observatory at Sacramento Peak and Kitt Peak, Big Bear, Mt. Wilson, Mees, and Mauna Loa (all in USA).
This project will support a network of NIS ground-based solar observatories in order to support the SOHO mission. The three main reasons for doing this are: to fill the longitude gap between China and Europe in the above list of GBOs by using existing infrastructure in theNIS; to benefit from the expertise of the NIS colleagues in the interpretation of solar data; and to integrate NIS colleagues in the SOHO community and thereby give them the possibility to contribute to this exciting mission.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
