Definition

  • The Global Oscillation Network Group The Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) project was proposed in 1984 by the National Solar Observatory as a community activity. Funding for the project from the National Science Foundation started in 1986. The project is intended to provide 3 years of nearly uninterrupted helioseismograms to allow detailed study of the stratification and dynamics of the solar interior. The project is in the process of developing a network of observational sites and an instrument based on the principle of Fourier tachometry to do the observing. In addition the GONG datacenter will store the network data and do the standard data reduction. Science teams have been organized and are actively engaged in providing technical support for various aspects of the project and are preparing for the analysis and interpretation of the data products.
