The International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy is one of the eight
Associations of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG).
IAGA’s Mission
The overall purpose of IAGA is set out in the first statute of the Association:
•
to promote studies of magnetism and aeronomy of the Earth and other bodies
of the solar system, and of the interplanetary medium and its interaction with
these bodies, where such studies have international interest;
•
to encourage research in these subjects by individual countries, institutions or
persons and to facilitate its international coordination;
•
to provide an opportunity on an international basis for discussion and publica-
tion of the results of the researches; and
•
to promote appropriate standardizations of observational programs, data acqui-
sition systems, data analysis and publication.

Cover illustration
: In a Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF) simulation of the Halloween 2003
space storms, the magnetosphere responds to a CME associated with the X-17.2 flare on October 29. The
visualization shows the last closed magnetic field lines, color-coded with pressure. The gray sphere is
located at 3 Earth radii, while the red band on that sphere is a 100 nano-Pascals (nPa) pressure isosurface
