Solar-Terrestrial Physics

Aims & Scope

Solar-Terrestrial Physics is a scientific journal that publishes papers on basic and applied research in solar physics, physics of the interplanetary medium, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere.

Its aim is to describe the interaction of the interplanetary medium, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere with the Sun as a driver of physical processes occurring there.

The journal contains papers on new results of theoretical and experimental investigations, on methods and experimental techniques in solar-terrestrial physics, reviews on specific issues.

It is designed for scientists, experts in solar-terrestrial relationships and radio-physical methods of space environment reseach, teachers, and students.
