Space Plasma Physics
The main source of the northern lights, auroras, is electrons and protons from the Sun. These particles bombard the upper atmosphere and lit up atmospheric gases, which is seen as northern lights. Finnish Meteorological Institute is strongly involved in studies of this field from the flux of the particles from the Sun to the phenomena seen on the Earth. Ground based observations, radars and satellites bring information to us what is going on in space and upper atmosphere.
