Far-side helioseismic maps: the next generation

For more than a decade, far-side seismic maps of medium-to-large active regions have proven their capability as a space weather forecasting tool. In the last few years, these maps have started to serve another purpose: complementing the front side observations that are input to different solar models. Photospheric flux transport as well as solar spectral irradiance models have been shown to produce improved results when incorporating the far-side seismic maps as well as providing better forecasting. The challenge for the future is twofold: Far-side seismic monitoring needs to be more sensitive, and it needs to offer more information. We present here initial steps towards fulfilling these goals using higher resolution input images, adding extra skips to the analysis and changing the presentation of the maps.
