North American Space Weather Activity

North American space weather activity refers to interconnected phenomena driven by solar emissions like solar flares and coronal mass ejections. These events send charged particles and magnetic energy toward Earth, impacting satellites, power grids, GPS, and radio communications. Variations in Earth's magnetic field can cause auroras and disrupt technology. Monitoring space weather helps predict and mitigate these effects, ensuring safety and reliability of critical systems across North America.
