We propose an investigation of the near-Earth space plasma dynamics and electromagnetic\u00a0environment by multiparameter analysis from variety of space-based missions and creation of\u00a0physical model of the coupling between lithosphere, atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere\u00a0which are linked by the chain of processes initiated by atmospheric boundary layer modification by\u00a0air pollution (dust aerosols, nuclear disaster) and modification of boundary layer by major natural\u00a0disasters: earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes\/typhoons and volcanoes.<\/p>\n
Our intention is to find from experimental data and their detailed analysis the key processes in\u00a0atmosphere, which modify the Earth plasma environment system under various geophysical\u00a0conditions including natural and anthropogenic disasters. As input for analysis and modeling we will\u00a0use the data products about atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere from different satellites,\u00a0including NASA EOS (TERRA, AQUA), NOAA\/POES, and ESA\/ EUMETSAT (METEOSAT,\u00a0ENVISAT, SWARM), DEMETER\/CNES, FORMOSAT-3\/COSMIC, as well as ground\u00a0observations of GPS\/TEC, ground electromagnetic (EM) fields meteorological monitoring data,\u00a0geochemistry, etc. Statistical studies that use these data sets individually have already proven the\u00a0complex nature of the interconnection between lithosphere and atmosphere events and earth space\u00a0environment through the Global Electric Circuit.<\/p>\n
Just recently the members of this team came\u00a0independently to same conclusion that many processes in atmosphere of different origin create the\u00a0similar variations in the space plasma environment what implies the existence of common physical\u00a0mechanism of their generation. One of the main drivers for such coupling is the change of the\u00a0boundary layer conductivity through the air pollution, Ion Induced Nucleation triggered by natural\u00a0and anthropogenic radioactivity, and mesoscale atmospheric systems such as tropical\u00a0hurricanes\/typhoons. Combining data from space- and ground-based instrumentation will provide\u00a0the experimental background for the first-principal physical modeling in the whole column from the\u00a0ground surface up to the ionosphere and magnetosphere.<\/p>\n
The team of the leading world experts in different disciplines will provide the unique
\nopportunity of the knowledge fusion to make breakthrough in the understanding the coupling\u00a0process between atmosphere of our planet and space environment.<\/p>\n
