Introduction

The Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP) was originally establishned as an Inter-Union Commission following a Resolution adopted at the XI General Assemnly of ICSU at Bombay in 1966. It was modified by the 14th General Assembly of ICSU at Helsinki in 1972 to a Special Committee and by the 17th General Assembly in 1978 to a Scientific Committee. Its principal tasks are :

1. to promote international interdisciplinary programmes in solar terrestrial physics and to orgnise and coordinate such programmes of interest to and approved by atleast two of the following bodies i.e. IAU., IUGG, IUPAP, URSI and COSPAR;

2.to define the data relating to these programmes that should be exchanged through the World Data Centres;

3.to provide such advice as may be required by the ICSU bodies and World Data Centres concerned with these programmes;

4. to work with other ICSU bodies in the coordination of symposia in solar terrestrial physics, especially on topics related to SCOSTEP's programmes.
