Space Weather Modeling

Space weather modeling involves predicting how solar phenomena like solar flares and coronal mass ejections affect the space environment around Earth. These models analyze data from instruments monitoring the Sun and space to anticipate disturbances in Earth's magnetic field, radiation levels, and communication systems. Accurate modeling helps protect satellites, astronauts, power grids, and communication networks from potential damage caused by these space weather events. By understanding and forecasting space weather, scientists aim to minimize disruptions and improve preparedness for solar-induced space environment changes.
