B.2 IHY: International Heliophysical Year 2007 -- How to get involved?
Discussion group info:
A mailing list on Comparative Aeronomy offers us a dynamic way to exchange information and stimulate interactions.
We are planning to regularly send you information, such as on recent research outcomes or on upcoming meetings. Please send us your contribution!

Why a new WWW site?
Year 2000 marked a renewed interest in the comparative studies of solar system atmospheres. While many individual scientists do not separate their approaches to terrestrial and planetary science, the compartmentalization of specialties and government funding programmatics often appear to erect artificial barriers to separate otherwise coupled research objectives. To help reverse this counter-productive trend, two initiatives were launched this year and they seemed to have been rather successful:
To keep participants informed of upcoming activities, and to encourage other colleagues who could not attend these meetings to get involved, we have established this website and mail system.
The solar system contains a rich ensemble of atmospheres associated with its nine planets and many moons. In the mesospheres, thermospheres, ionospheres, and exospheres of these bodies there exits an extraordinary range of parameters common to all. Yet, they drive processes chemically and dynamically in ways both similar to those found on Earth and uniquely site-dependent. The topics of interest include theory, modeling, observations, new ground-based and space-based techniques, and the types of syntheses that improve our understanding of the coupling, energetics and dynamics found in terrestrial, planetary and satellite environments.
Recent books, special issues, and review papers:
Special issue of Advances in Space Research on "Planetary Atmospheres, Ionospheres, and Plasma Interactions" (Volume 33, Issue 2, Pages 121-241, 2004), edited by E. Kallio and H. Shinagawa.
Atmospheres in the Solar System: Comparative Aeronomy, is an AGU monograph (Vol. 130), edited by Michael Mendillo, Andrew Nagy, and J.H. Waite in 2002. From important overviews of aeronomic phenomena to in-depth discussion of known interactions, models, and observational applications, this volume sets the stage for future aeronomic research in the solar system and beyond. Introduction (Mendillo et al., 2002)
Auroral Emissions of the Giant Planets by Anil Bhardwaj and G. Randall Gladstone is published in the volume 38 of Reviews of Geophysics, pp. 295 - 353, August 2000. The authors present a very comprehensive review of the observations and modeling of auroral processes of the giant planets. The last section is dedicated to comparisons between the giant planets and is illustrated with excellent summary tables.

published in the volume 26 of Advances in Space Reserach, pp. 1551-1558, 2000.
IONOSPHERES, Physics, Plasma Physics and Chemistry, by Robert W. Schunk and Andrew Nagy, is a new text published in 2000 in the Atmospheric and Space Science Series of the Cambridge University Press (ISBN 0-521-63237-4). While primarily a work dealing with terrestrial ionospheric physics, the physics and approach are universal, and a chapter is devoted to Planetary Ionospheres.
The New Solar System, edited by J. Kelly Beatty, Carolyn Collins Petersen, and Andrew Chaikin, has a recent fourth edition published in 1999 by Sky Publishing Corporation (ISBN 0-933346-86-7). The atmosphere of numerous planets and satellites of the Solar System are presented and two chapters "Atmospheres of the Terrestrial Planets" by B.M. Jakosky and "Atmospheres of the Giant Planets" by A.P. Ingersoll propose relevant comparisons.
