The Whole Heliosphere and Planetary Interactions (WHPI) is an international initiative, initially focused on solar minimum that has now expanded to all phases of the solar cycle, with the main aim of understanding the interconnected sun-heliospheric-planetary system and how solar magnetic and radiative output propagates through the heliosphere and affects the atmospheres and magnetospheres of Earth and other planetary systems.

WHPI brings together scientists from multiple disciplines to coordinate observations across many space-based missions, ground-based facilities, and between various instruments and support subsequent research activities focused on specific campaign periods of interest, including several Parker Solar Probe perihelia, solar eclipses, and major notable solar storms.

This presentation highlights some recent WHPI activities. This includes a demonstration of how the newly developed Pysplot, a Python library designed for spatio-temporal analysis and visualizations in Heliophysics, can be coupled to the McIntosh Style maps made for each WHPI-supported campaign period (see image below). The combination of these maps and simple to use tools enables new and robust exploration into the impacts of solar sources on the heliosphere.
