IHY-2007: Coordinated Investigation Programs (CIPs)
Abstract
The IHY has established a set of primary scientific objectives and goals. To accomplish these goals, a wide range of Coordinated Investigation Programs (CIPs) will transpire throughout the IHY timeframe, driving towards a more complete understanding of heliophysical universal processes. The CIPs are the basic "building block" of IHY science - they are proposed by members of the IHY community, and are approved and coordinated by the IHY discipline coordinators. The aim is that the program remains under the control of the proposer(s) with the IHY CIP process providing a means of publicising the proposed work, co-ordinating access to and use of the necessary resources, and a forum for discussing the results. There are currently over 50 CIPs in the IHY database, with many more being proposed.
