Abstract
Physical interactions in solar-terrestrial space are mostly magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) transport phenomena. The phenomena have been much well understood by utilizing theories derived from fundamental interactions in MHD plasma state. Furthermore, the over-all physical processes and propagation in space can be described as the MHD transport phenomena. There are many advances in solar magnetohydrodynamo (MHDo) research during the last decade. These include research on solar convective layers, the dynamics of active regions at solar surface, the super-active solar corona, the interplanetary magnetic-plasma field propagations, as well as the planetary-magnetospheric plasma dynamics. Our research is intended to initiate the efforts in developing an aeronautics and space early warning at LAPAN Watukosek.
Key words: MHD interactions, transport phenomena, solar-terrestrial space, aeronautics and space early warning
