Rich Radick (USAF), Michael Kirk (NMSU), and K. S. Balasubramaniam (USAF) work with the Improved Solar Observing Optical Network (ISOON) telescope. Michael is using the data from the telescope to develop computer code to track evolving features across the solar disk. Tracking these features will help forecasters predict when solar storms will erupt.
