KuaFu: exploring the Sun-Earth connection

Missing driver in the Sun–Earth connection from energetic electron precipitation impacts mesospheric ozone

Energetic electron precipitation (EEP) from the Earth's outer radiation belt continuously affects the chemical composition of the polar mesosphere. EEP can contribute to catalytic ozone loss in the mesosphere through ionization and enhanced production of odd hydrogen. However, the long-term mesospheric ozone variability caused by EEP has not been quantified or confirmed to date. Here we show, u...

Sixty-five years of solar radioastronomy: flares, coronal mass ejections and Sun–Earth connection

This paper will review the input of 65years of radio observations to our understanding of solar and solar–terrestrial physics. It is focussed on the radio observations of phenomena linked to solar activity in the period going from the first discovery of the radio emissions to present days. We shall present first an overview of solar radio physics focussed on the activeSun andon the premices of ...

Cosmic Influence on the Sun-Earth Environment

SOHO satellite data reveals geophysical changes before sudden changes in the Earth's Sun-Earth environment. The influence of extragalactic changes on the Sun as well as the Sun-Earth environment seems to be both periodic and episodic. The periodic changes in terms of solar maxima and minima occur every 11 years, whereas the episodic changes can happen at any time. Episodic changes can be monito...

The Sun-earth Space Information System

Nowadays the object of Space Information System (SIS) is limited to the earth surface, and the large-scale sun-earth space does not been considered. In this paper, the research object of SIS is been extended, namely the object is been studied from the earth surface to the sun-earth space, and the concept of “Sun-earth Space Information System” is been proposed. It is the very important content ...
