Remarks by Dr. Hugh Odishaw, Executive Director, US National Committee for IGY, before the National
Press Club, Dec. 4, 1958)“So the fundamental purpose of the IGY was the
acquisition of synoptic data---data taken simultaneously on and about the earth in order to
get a planetary view of weather, geomagnetism, the ionosphere, the aurora, and the like. “

Climate and Earth Atmosphere • Issues of importance to climate community require climatological (long time scale) data analysis rather than focus on individual events• But, there are also a number of sun/atmosphere studies that can be carried out or initiated in the time frame of IHY2007, all with attention to coordination with ongoing (e.g., CAWSES, SPARC) programs and prior (e.g., EPIC, PSMOS) programs
Example campaigns include:• Response of atmosphere to impulsive and periodic solar events (e.g., Solar Particle Events…)• Response to the 27-day solar rotation –inferences for longer term variability• Modeling of atmospheric response to solar variability, including model intercomparison• UV effects on the biosphere (including humans).

Emphasis on comparative universal processes and connective Solar-System-spanning phenomena
Planned Activities include: • Observing campaigns, modeling, e.g.
• Study the variation of solar minimum irradiance (cycle to cycle)• Relationship of cosmic ray modulation to CMEs

Universal Processes: A Theme for IHY
• GOAL: Gain knowledge about the physical processes and phenomena through sharing cross-disciplinary views of the same process under different circumstances
• OUTCOMES: Workshops based on universal physical processes rather than phenomena; books on physical processes that include numerous heliospheric phenomena; legacies

IHY: Advancing our Interdisciplinary Approach to Science and the Study of Universal Processes
“ I would suggest that science is already moving to enlarge its influence in three general ways: in the inter–disciplinary area, in the international area, and in the inter-cultural area. For science is the most powerful means we have for the unification of knowledge, and a main obligation of its future must be to deal with problems which cut across boundaries, whether boundaries between the sciences, boundaries between nations, or boundaries between man’s scientific and his humane concern.” -- John F. Kennedy
