Abstract:
In 2015 the High Altitude Observatory (HAO) celbrates its 75th anniversary. From the early years of the observatory at Cimax Pass to the current facility at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory [MLSO] we will highlight the techniques and methodologies developed to monitor solar actiity and its evolition. In the coming years we hope to develop a new community facility - COSMO - to push space weather montioring into the data assimilation age. We will provide an overview of the requirements and capbiliites of the COSMO facility.
