<description>
The Institute for Solar-Terrestrial Physics scientifically deals with the state
and dynamics of the Ionosphere-Thermosphere-Magnetosphere System (ITM) and
it's links to the Sun and the lower and middle atmosphere. Within this
research field, the Institute for Solar-Terrestrial Physics will focus on
the study of Space Weather. Space Weather refers to conditions on the Sun
and in the solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere that can
influence the performance and reliability of space-borne and ground-based
technological systems and endanger human life. Space Weather is known to
possibly lead to significant perturbations of modern communication and
navigation systems and hence to increased risks on safety, economical loss,
and reduced life quality. The Institute for Solar-Terrestrial Physics covers
both, basic and applied research on space weather. The aim is to protect
national infrastructures and support affected industries through timely,
accurate, and reliable observations and forecasts.
