Observations

    Providing Observations for WHI: Yes
    Observatory: Space Environmental Viewing and Analysis NetworkTo be
    Type of Observation: energetic particle measurements
    Coverage for WHI: energetic particle measurements from 50 keV - 10 MeV
    Observation Location for WHI: Remote Sensing and Space Sciences Laboratory,School of Environmental Sciences,Jawaharlal Nehru university,New Delhi-110067
    Observation Plans for WHI: Influence of Sun and other cosmic factors on the Environment of the earth is a new concept in Sun-earth connection studies. Space weather phenomena affecting environment of the earth including aircraft and spacecraft communication will be studied. During the Coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun the impact on the Galactic Cosmic rays (GCR) will be observed. Particle detector is vital for measuring the modulation effects the sun poses on the ambient population of the Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR). The known agents of these modulation effects are Solar Flares (SF), Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) and Interplanetary CMEs (ISME)
