Abstract
This volume contains a collection of articles on the topic of Solar Dynamics and Magnetism from the Interior to the Atmosphere stimulated by the LWS/SDO3/SOHO26/GONG2011 workshop of the same name which was held 31 October – 4 November 2011 at Stanford California USAThe goal of the workshop was to discuss recent advances and new problems in the exploration of the Sun’s interior structure solar dynamics and dynamo mechanisms of sunspot and active regions formation sources of solar irradiance variations links between the subsurface dynamics and flaring and CME activity NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory SDO mission has been providing a large amount of new data on solar dynamics and magnetic activities during the rising phase of the highly unusual Solar Cycle 24 These data are complemented by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory SOHO mission and by groundbased observatories which include the Global Oscillation Network Group GONG helioseismology network and the New Solar Telescope NST In addition these observations are supported by realistic numerical simulations on highend computers This unprecedented amount of data provides a unique opportunity for multiinstrument investigations that address fundamental problems of the origin of solar magnetic activity at various spatial and temporal scales The data are being used to develop new methods for forecasting solar cycles emergence and evolution of active regions and their flaring and CME activity
