ROMFORSK-Program for romforskning

Solar Atmospheric Modelling

Solar magnetism lies at the root of most solar and heliospheric physics. The intricate structure of the solar field, the activity cycle and the influence of the field on the heliosphere represent major quests of (astro-) physics which bear directly on th e human environment. The sun's magnetic f...
