The programme conducts research into aspects of the sun, the solar
corona and the space environment, including the solar wind's
interaction with satellites, the Earth and its magnetosphere.
Objectives
The objectives of the programme are to:
- Improve our understanding of basic space plasma physics
phenomena in the solar-terrestrial environment, with focus on
problems related with the variable Sun and its influence on the
Earth, its atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere;
- Improve our understanding of the long-term solar
variability and how it affects the Earth, human
society, technological systems and climate;
- Communicate our knowledge about solar-terrestrial relations
to Swedish society.
