| The Objectives of the UN/NASA/ESA/JAXA Workshop
on Basic Space Science and the International Heliophysical
Year are to discover the physical mechanisms that
drive the coupling of Earth’s atmosphere to solar
and heliopheric phenomena. The systematic global
study of this interaction is to be the central
theme of this workshop. |
| |
| In view of these aims,
the objectives are: |
 |
Advancing our understanding of the heliophysical
processes that govern the Sun, Earth, |
| |
and heliosphere |
|
Continuing the tradition of international research
and advancing the legacy on the 50th |
| |
anniversary
of the International Geophysical Year |
|
Demonstrating the beauty, relevance and significance
of space and Earth science to the world |
