Scientific paper

The U.S. Max '91 program of flare research is designed to investigate the fundamental unsolved problems of flare physics including the processes of energy storage, release, and transport, and particle acceleration. To address these central scientific issues, the Max '91 observing program utilizes advanced instrumentation on spacecraft, rockets, and balloons, and at ground- based observatories. It covers the electromagnetic spectrum from radio through optical to X-rays and gamma-rays, and includes measurements of neutrons and charged particles in interplanetary space. Max '91 also provides an infrastructure for coordinating international flare research efforts, with the support of its international counterpart FLARES 22, during this solar maximum by means of organizing and executing observing "campaigns". Such campaign operations utilize various electronic communications techniques in combination with the ability to monitor real-time solar conditions at NOAA's Space Environment Laboratory. Thus far, Max '91 has conducted six full scale campaigns of which the June 1991 observing campaign was the first "target of opportunity" effort. Additional planned campaigns as well as more "target of opportunity" campaigns are anticipated throughout 1992 and 1993.
