Abstract
The day/night cycle at a single observatory prevents definitive observ ations of many aspects of solar activity, convection, and oscillations with timescales near 1 day. Solutions to this problem include multi-s ite networks, spacecraft observatories, and observations from high-lat itude sites during their summer season. We report here on our experien ce in using Alaska as a high-latitude site for observations of solar o scillations.
