General description
SOOP designed to address polar magnetic field objectives that don't necessarily rely on the the highest resolution and cadence PHI data, nor all five physical parameters that PHI can return. The rest of the remote sensing observations provide supporting data.
'Ephemeral' flavour:
The emergence, diffusion and decay of ephemeral regions near the poles and below high- latitude coronal holes should be studied for the aspect of how they feed the magnetic network (see e.g. Simon et al. 2001, ApJ 561, 49 427; Gosic et al. 2014, ApJ 797, ). In particular, the latitudinal dependence of this decay process would be interesting to study.
Default SOOP duration: Several days
Pointing requirements: Poles
Triggers: disabled

This SOOP is inspired by science goal 1 of 2.3 in the MPS document and is also consistent with the second part of 2.1 (apart from the number of physical quantities)
