• Figure 1 The extension of the concept of
  geophysical into heliophysical.
• The tradition of intl. science years began almost
  125 years ago with the first intl. scintfc.
  studies of polar processes in
• 1983-3
• A second Intl. Polar Year (IPY) was organized in
  1932, but a worldwide economic depression
  curtailed many of the planned activities.

• IGY in 1957 was an unprecedented success on many
  levels.
• IHY will continue the legacy of this previous
  events extending global synoptic studies,
• and global interconnected processes to the rest
  of the heliosphere.

IHY OVERVIEW

• Space is a part of worlds cultural heritage. It
  has inspired generations of artists, poets,
  scientists and musicians.
• Throughout history, societies have admired and
  searched for meaning in the same night sky.
• Indeed, space exploration can help bring cultures
  together.

IHY Goals and Objectives

• A broadening of the concept geophysical,
  extending the connections from the Earth to the
  Sun and interplanetary space.
• On the 50th anniversary of the IGY, the 2007, IHY
  activities will build on the success of IGY by
  continuing its legacy of system-wide studies of
  the extended heliophysical domain.

IHY CIP

• The principal mechanism for coordinating
  scientific activities for IHY is that of
  Coordinated Investigation Programmes - CIPs. In
  keeping with the bottom-up approach of IHY as a
  whole this is an open mechanism by which
  researchers can propose activities that require,
  or would benefit from, coordinated use of
  facilities, whether space-based or ground-based
  instruments, observatories, models or other
  supporting research activities.
