A Brief Review of Interplanetary Physics Research Progress in Mainland China during 2020–2022

Through independent research by the Chinese scientists or their international collaborations, great achievements have been made in interplanetary physics research in Mainland China during the past two years (2020 –2022). More than 150 papers have been published in academic journals in this field during this period. These achievements can be grouped into the following areas, at least: (i) solar corona; (ii) solar and interplanetary transient phenomena; (iii) radio bursts; (iv) Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) numerical modeling; (v) solar energetic particles and cosmic rays. These advances have greatly enriched our understanding of interplanetary physics, i.e. our knowledge of solar activities and solar eruptions, their propagation in the interplanetary space, and the corresponding geoeffects on the Earth. In the sense of application, they have also improved the forecasting of space weather. In this paper we will give a very short review about these advances.
