contents The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) offers new diagnostic capabilities for studying the Sun, providing complementary insights through high spatial and temporal resolution at millimeter wavelengths. ALMA acts as a linear thermometer for atmospheric gas, aiding in understanding the solar atmosphere's structure, dynamics, and energy balance. Given the Sun's complex emission patterns and rapid evolution, high-cadence imaging is essential for solar observations. Snapshot imaging is required, though it limits available visibility data, making full exploitation of ALMA's capabilities non-trivial. Challenges in processing solar ALMA data highlight the need for revising and enhancing the solar observing mode. The ALMA development study High-Cadence Imaging of the Sun demonstrated the potential benefits of high cadence observations through a forward modelling approach. The resulting report provides initial recommendations for improved post-processing solar ALMA data and explores increasing the observing cadence to sub-second intervals to improve image reliability.
