The following scientific topics are studied by WISER:

• Waves, instabilities, and turbulence in space plasmas
• Modelling of heliosphere-interstellar medium coupling
• Modelling of solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere-atmosphere coupling
• Solar flares and coronal mass ejections
• Geomagnetic storms and substorms
• Radio emissions as tracers of space weather
• Magnetic pulsations as diagnostics of space environment
• Magnetospheric radiation belts
• Ionospheric irregularities
• Dynamics and structure of Earth’s atmosphere
• Solar modulation of cosmic rays
• Space weather forecasting
• Impact of space weather on Earth’s climate, environment, and technology

Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) from the solar active regions may cause geomagnetic storms, which are monitored by the SOHO spacecraft at the L1 point. (Image Credit: SOHO and Steele Hill)
