IDOC (Integrated Data and Operation Center) is located and operated at IAS, Orsay, France under contract with CNRS, CNES, and Univ. Paris-Sud.IDOC takes part in all the operational phases of space missions.\ These thematic data centers span a large area in solar physics with MEDOC, in planetary science with PSUP, in exo planetolgy with D2S and in astronomy with GINCO.\ IDOC belongs to the Paris Sud Observatory (OSU).
Konkoly Observatory, together with the Heliophysical Observatory in Debrecen, forms the astrophysical institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS). The Observatory hosts the external Astrophysical Laboratory of the Eötvös Loránd University, cooperates with the University of Debrecen and University of Szeged, and coordinates the Hungarian Astronomical Infrastructure for Research (HAIR).
The LATMOS laboratory (Laboratoire Atmosphères, Milieux, Observations Spatiales) is a joint research unit specializing in the study of fundamental physical and chemical processes governing the terrestrial and planetary atmospheres and their interfaces with the surface, the ocean, and the interplanetary medium. For this, the laboratory has developed strong instrumental skills, builds innovative instruments deployed from the ground and sometimes put into orbit or sent out to meet other solar system bodies. Numerical atmosphere models are developed and used to interpret the various observations.
The laboratory focuses on the mechanisms, evolution and prediction of meteorological and climate phenomena. Its three research areas are: the study of the interaction between the various components of the climate system; the detection and understanding of change and natural variability in climate, on scales ranging from seasons to decades; and the study of the global effects of human activity on the environment. LMD is a laboratory belonging to the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace.
