PUNCH and Heliophysics System Observatory Connect

The Heliophysics System Observatory Connect program was established to facilitate observation, collaboration, and access for the wide range of heliophysics missions, observatories, and models. New missions such as Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter allow us to make observations from an unprecedented range of heliospheric locations. Collaboration across research domains has always been a hallmark of heliophysics, but our field’s ability to advance hinges on our ability to combine data and models from multiple sources. The PUNCH mission has a similar challenge, as the goal of the mission is to unify the solar wind and heliosphere, and understand the interchange between different physical processes. Science success requires collaboration across the solar, heliosphere, solar wind, turbulence, etc. communities. This presentation will introduce the HSO Connect program and will discuss how new resources can help PUNCH make these vital connections.
