Overview

The COSPAR Colloquium on Solar-Terrestrial Magnetic Activity and Space Environment (STMASE) was held in the National Astronomy Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) in Beijing, China, September 10-12, 2001. The meeting was focused on five areas of solar-terrestrial magnetic activity and space environment studies, including study on solar surface magnetism; solar magnetic activity; dynamical response of the heliosphere; space weather prediction; and space environment exploration and monitoring. A hot topic of space research, CMEs, which are widely believed to be the most important phenomenon of the space environment, is discussed in many papers. Other papers show results of observational and theoretical studies toward better understanding of the complicated image of the magnetic coupling between the Sun and the Earth, although little is still known about its physical background. Space weather prediction, which is very important for a modern society expanding into out-space, is another hot topic of space research. However, there is still a long way to go to predict exactly when and where a disaster will happen in the space. In that sense, there is much to do for space environment exploration and monitoring. The manuscripts submitted to this monograph are divided into the following parts: solar surface magnetism; solar magnetic activity; dynamical response of the heliosphere; space environment exploration and monitoring; and space weather prediction. Papers presented in this meeting but not submitted to this monograph are listed by title as unpublished papers at the end of this book.
