IHY (http://ihy.gsfc.nasa.gov) 2

Why IHY? The Historical Perspective

• First International Polar Year– January 1875 at the Academy of Sciences in Vienna Carl Weyprecht suggested a coordinated study of the

north polar region – Polar meteorological and magnetic observations commenced on Aug 1, 1882 and concluded Sep 1, 1883

• Second International Polar Year– Scientific activities were significantly limited by the world-wide economic depression – Polar meteorological and magnetic observations to be made in 1932-1933, fifty years after the first IPY

The logical next step is to extend global studies into the Heliosphere to incorporate the drivers of Geophysical change into the global system-The IHY.

• International Geophysical Year– In 1957 the IGY involved about 60,000

scientists from 66 nations– To obtain simultaneous, global observations

on Earth and in space

Advances During Previous International Years

• IPY 1– Auroral oval structure and dynamics– Currents flowing in the upper atmosphere produce magnetic

perturbations on the ground– Currents flow between upper atmosphere and space

• IPY 2– International polar observing network– New instrumentation (radiosondes and ionosondes)– Rapid run magnetometers– Simultaneous measurements at multiple stations– Global current pattern for specific magnetic disturbance

(magnetic bays)

• IGY– Interhemispheric network of polar stations– New instrumentation (all-sky cameras, satellites)– Major discovery (radiation belts)– New concepts (the magnetosphere, substorms)– Exploration of space– Global 3D synoptic data– Evidence of time-dependent global dynamics

Lapland, 1882


IHY Scientific Goals

• Provide benchmark measurements of the response of the magnetosphere, the ionosphere, the lower atmosphere and Earth surface to identify global processes and drivers which affect the terrestrial environment and climate

• Global study of the Sun-heliosphere system outward to the heliopause to understand the external, and historic drivers of geophysical change

• Foster international scientific cooperation in the study of Heliophysical phenomena now and in the future

• To communicate the unique scientific results of the IHY to the interested scientific community and to the general public


Why Now?

• A large armada of existing or planned spacecraft are in place to provide the most comprehensive global measurements of the sun-earth interplanetary system yet obtained

• Earth based observatories can provide measurements of terrestrial effects at the poles and elsewhere

• International collaboration is easier today than in previous international years with abundant and cheap electronic communication available

• No single country has sufficient resources to obtain all required observations

• The time is ripe for IHY global studies.

What is the Opportunity?

• Similar physical processes are evident in vastly different environments

Cross-Cutting IHY Approach

•Observa-tional campaigns are organized for various phenomena

•Scientific results organized by physical process


General Benefits of the IHY

• The IHY will help us develop a deeper understanding of physical processes through a program of comparative study throughout the solar system.

• The IHY will further the study of energetic events in the solar system, paving the way for safe travel to the Moon and planets in the future.

• The IHY 2007 will serve to inspire the next generation of space physicists, as the IGY 1957 inspired us.

• The IHY will help maintain US leadership in space science.


Benefits to NASA

• Provides a community consensus structure to unite Earth and Space Science into the new field of “helioPHYSICS”. A good fit to the new Exploration Initiative organizational structure

• Broadens the use of space data by making data available, and involving new science groups while leveraging data analysis funds

• Provides National and World-Wide public visibility for NASA programs at all levels

• Pathfinder for ILWS science program, with high-priority concensus science objectives identified by International Teams

partnerships with developing nations to establish distributed instrument networks, and we are exploring how to do it with help from UNBSS. Planning workshop in October at GSFC to discuss coordination. A larger meeting with UNBSS is scheduled for November in UAE

• Science Coordination Database has been established and is being populated, Campaign Coordination Database in development http://ihy.gsfc.nasa.gov/

• IHY events and activities at scores of international meetings and symposia
