Abstract
The High Altitude Observatory (HAO), founded in 1940 in Colorado, USA, is a laboratory of the US National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado, USA. HAO conducts a broad program of research in solar-terrestrial physics (including solar and heliospheric physics,and physics of the magnetosphere, ionosphere and thermosphere). HAO operates the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory in Hawaii, USA. It also provides observational and modeling facilities to the wide solar-terrestrial community. In this talk, I shall describe the broad program at HAO and some of the opportunities for international cooperation.
