Scientific paper

Future research plans of solar observations in the Space Weather Forecast Project at the Hiraiso/CRL are briefly described. Toward the next solar maximum around 2000, we have been making efforts to develop the comprehensive solar observation facilities consisting of a High-Definition H alpha Solar Telescope, Sunspot Monitoring Telescope, and Filter Magnetograph as well as data exchange facilities with computer networks. The observations with these telescopes and quasi real-time data exchange will play an important role for the forecasts of solar and magnetosphere disturbances in the next solar maximum. As well as the development of the monitoring facilities, research on state of the art solar observation techniques is planned. One of the main targets is research and development for spectroscopic polarimetry of the sun. For flare research and forecasting, polarimetry of spectral lines is required and precise derivation of physical parameters, especially of the magnetic field, from observations is crucial. We will develop the precise spectroscopic polarimetry technique after research and development of several required features and technologies. These include image stabilization technology, a no artificial polarization mirror in the oblique reflection, a telescope filled with Helium, and IR polarimetry.
