Welcome to the home page of the Ulysses Interdisciplary Study of Directional Discontinuities in the Solar Wind.

The Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (Brussels, Belgium) is involved in this interdisciplinary study project together with The Lockheed Martin Space Physics Laboratory, Palo Alto (California, USA). The goal of this project is to look at plasma discontinuities in the solar wind at various heliographic latitudes, and to understand their internal structure and dynamics. Principal investigator is M. Roth.

The research at the Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy is funded by PRODEX. We acknowledge the support of the Belgian Federal Office for Science and Technology Policy.
