The subject of the VIS-HES project is reffering to the modern scientific research incorporating the physics of the Sun, the heliosphere, the magnetosphere and the terrestrial atmosphere.
The study of all phenomena in the heliosphere that affect the technological systems in the cosmic space and on the ground, as well as the biological systems, make up today the object of a new scientific interdisciplinary branch, space weather.
The concept of Space Weather describes short-term solar variations (days, weeks) and their effects in the heliosphere and in the near-terrestrial space (magnetosphere, atmosphere, biological systems, technological systems).
Analogously to the relation meteorology–climate, at the terrestrial level, the concept of space weather extended to that of space climate in order to include the long-term solar variations (from over several months – to over dozens of years with extension to secular and millennium time scales) as well as their long-term effects in the heliosphere, magnetosphere, terrestrial climate and many other systems.
As the knowledge of the phenomena in this new research field develops, the researchers are faced with new problems concerning the evolution of the Earth together with the entire space within its influence (geosphere) on secular and millennium durations.
The cosmic climate also refers to the evolution of the other planets and the understanding of the solar effects on the space around them.
The focus of this project is to promote and disseminate the Romanian research at international levels. |
