ILWS Steering Committee and Working Group Meeting Prague, June 10–12, 2008

ILWS science in Hungary

• KFKI Research Inst. Particle and Nuclear Physics, Budapest– solar energetic particles – interaction of solar wind with magnetic and non-

magnetic bodies (comets, etc.)

• KFKI Atomic Energy Inst., Budapest– cometary plasma and dust– space dosimetry

coordinating agency: Hungarian Space Office

• Heliophysical Observatory, Debrecen– photoheliograph program, H measurements,– solar effects on the troposphere

• Konkoly Observatory, Budapest– coronal mass ejections, solar magnetic fields

• Eötvös University, Budapest– magnetohydrodynamics of solar interior– solar activity - crop yield relation

• Geodetic and Geophysical Institute, Sopron– solar wind, interplanetary plasma clouds– geomagnetic activity

• Eötvös Lorand Geophysical Institute, Budapest– geomagnetic activity, Intermagnet

Participation in space missions

Presently in orbit:– SOHO: COSTEP/LION low energy charged particles

– Cluster: RAPID, Data Center, magnetometer
