This grant will permit a series of observations of the Sun                 at submillimeter wavelengths using the 15 m James Clerk Maxwell                 Telescope (JCMT), which has recently become operational on                      Mauna Kea.  This new telescope will allow observations of the                   Sun with an angular resolution far better than that attainable                  in the past.  The program proposed here will have two parts:                    (1) detailed observations of solar intensity oscillations over                  a range of wavelengths; (2) observations of the photometric                     output of the sun; this will lead to a better model of the                      temperature distribution on the solar surface.  These topics                    are highly relevant to chromospheric structure and dynamics and                 hence solar terrestrial research.                                                    Part of the motivation in funding this research program is                 the exciting opportunity provided by new powerful facilities to                 explore an area previously inaccessible because of technical                    limitations.  But more than this, submillimeter observations                    offer the unique diagnostic advantage that the spectral line                    formation is simple and well understood.  The program is of                     fundamental importance for clarifying the structure and                         dynamics of the solar atmosphere.  A broader purpose is to open                 the submillimeter telescopes at Mauna Kea to the unlimited                      possibilities of submillimeter and millimeter solar research.//
