| Instrument | Mode | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| EUI | FSI Synoptic mode (S), 20-min cadence | Occultor likely to be used in conjunction with this mode |
Metis | MAGTOP, 20-min cadence, duration ≥ 2 hours WIND, 20-min cadence, duration ≥ 2 hours | Global maps of:
|
| PHI | PHI_synoptic_FDT_4: FDT, 6-hour cadence | Data suitable for coronal magnetic field extrapolation |
| SoloHI | Measure solar wind speed above potential source region in co-ordination with Metis | |
| SPICE | SPICE Composition Mapping | As during the March 2022 run, SPICE Composition Mapping (full-Sun mosaics) should be taken a few days before the actual run of the SOOP: this way, regions later at the limb during Metis/EUI observations could be mapped by SPICE. Also, this approach avoids the issue with Metis being disturbed or not being able to observe during the offpointings required for the SPICE full-Sun mosaics. |

Science objectives
| SAP objective | Target | Duration | Opportunity (e.g., orbital requirements, solar cycle phase, quadrature ...) | Operational constraints | Additional comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inner corona within EUI/FSI and Metis FOVs | few hours per day |
| Disc-centre pointing | Earth view beneficial before RSW to estimate the global solar magnetic field. |
Metis/EUI observation for this SOOP target the off-limb corona, where extrapolations based on PHI/FDT measurements would not be not very reliable. Ideally, quadrature with Earth-view magnetometers would be better, as the global magnetic field could be estimated during the SOOP run. |
