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...

ROMFORSK-Program for romforskning

Active remote sensing of the polar middle atmosphere by different lidar experiments in northern Norway

Atmospheric gravity waves have a clear impact on the dynamics of the middle atmosphere. In particular breaking of gravity waves is always accompanied by a negative momentum flux divergence, which essentially is a momentum flux convergence. This leads to an acceleration of the background flo...

Probing the Early Universe: a study of the reionization era

The quest to understand the evolution of the Universe is the most central theme in cosmology. The Big Bang model is the most successful description of this evolution and spans all scales from sub-atomic to the present size of the Universe. To begin with the Universe was opaque due to the frequen...
