3. IHY (http://ihy2007.org)3 Coordinated Investigation Programs (CIPs) Basic unit of scientific research within IHY –Will combine observation and modeling to address an observational objective Grass-Roots Driven, originated by researcher using web form –Draft version being tested now –Available by mid July Many examples identified in planning workshops –Comparative Planetary Aeronomy –Whole Heliosphere Intervals –Reconnection, Shock acceleration, … etc CIPs organized into Universal Processes by coordinators Cross-cutting scientific data analysis workshops organized by Universal Process

4. IHY (http://ihy2007.org)4 Distributed Instruments Objective is to help facilitate the deployment of distributed instrument arrays –Extension of existing arrays, or new arrays –Provides meaningful participation for developing nations Instrument providers are united with university groups from potential host nations –Potential Instruments, GPS, radio dishes, magnetometers, all-sky cameras, additional neutron monitors, etc. Implemented jointly with United Nations Basic Space Science Program –UNBSS program devoted to this effort through 2009 –Three-year work plan approved by COPUOS and Gen Assembly First Workshop in UAE November 2005 –Instrument concepts selected by Sep 2005, contact Nat Gopalswamy (gopals@fugee.gsfc.nasa.gov) to be considered –Other participants selected by Sep 2005
