International Space Weather Initiative

The International Space Weather Initiative (ISWI) is a global effort to study and understand space weather—disturbances caused by solar activity that can affect Earth's technology and infrastructure. It involves scientists, institutions, and countries collaborating to share data and improve forecasting of events like solar storms, which can disrupt satellites, power grids, and communication systems. By monitoring particles and magnetic fields in space, ISWI aims to protect our technology-dependent society and advance scientific knowledge about our Sun and its influence on Earth.
