Watch: Aug. 15 Prof. Yiqun YU: The Tight Coupling between the Terrestrial Ionosphere and Magnetosphere | 1001 Space Nights
Speaker: Prof. Yiqun YU, Beihang University
Aug. 15, 2021
8 pm GMT +8
Aurora, manifested as a bright landscape in space, can tell a lot about the relations between the ionosphere and magnetosphere. In this seminar, I will talk about the basics of aurora, including its origin and characteristics, and further more about other coupling processes within the ionosphere-magnetosphere system.
