Rotation and Nutation of a wobbly Earth (RotaNut)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

The rotation of the Earth has long been used as a measure of time, and the stars as reference points to determine travellers’ whereabouts on the globe. Today, precise timescales are provided using atomic clocks and precise positioning is determined using geodetic techniques such as GPS grounded on two reference frames: the terrestrial frame, fixed relative to the Earth and rotating synchronously w ...

Heliospheric Cataloguing, Analysis and Techniques Service (HELCATS)

Start date: Apr 25, 2014, End date: May 1, 2017,

The advent of wide-angle imaging of the inner heliosphere has revolutionised the study of the solar wind and, in particular, transient solar wind structures such as Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and Co-rotating Interaction Regions (CIRs). CMEs comprise enormous plasma and magnetic field structures that are ejected from the Sun and propagate at what can be immense speeds through interplanetary spac ...

First European Comprehensive SOLar Irradiance Data exploitation (SOLID)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Variations of solar irradiance are the most important natural factor in the terrestrial climate and as such, the time dependent spectral solar irradiance is a crucial input to any climate modelling. There have been previous efforts to compile solar irradiance but it is still uncertain by how much the spectral and total solar irradiance changed on yearly, decadal and longer time scales. Observation ...

COronal Mass Ejections and Solar Energetic Particles: forecasting the space weather impact (COMESEP)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

"This project develops tools for forecasting geomagnetic storms and solar energetic particle (SEP) radiation storms based on scientific data analysis and modeling. During the solar cycle, the Sun goes from quiet conditions at minimum to levels of high activity at maximum, where energetic phenomena, particularly coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and SEPs, are common. These are accompanied by explosive ...

Coordination Action for the integration of Solar System Infrastructures and Science (CASSIS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

Solar System Science has traditionally been undertaken within a number of separate disciplines. However, like any system its aspects are inter-related and it has been difficult to address these aspects because of the lack of the integrating technology required to span the inter-disciplinary boundaries. While advances in technology means that the intrinsic differences between disciplines (manifest ...
