Project: Impact of solar activity on the Earth upper atmosphere

The objective of the project is substantially broaden and better quantify our knowledge in the area of impact of solar activity (particularly that related to solar wind, interplanetary magnetic field and high energy particles) on the Earth upper atmosphere, as knowledge of processes in this area is less developed than that related to solar radiation variability and the degree of uncertainty is high. The studied processes might be a part of natural drivers of climate change.
