Space weather

Space weather is a branch of space physics and aeronomy, or heliophysics, concerned with the varying conditions within the Solar System and its heliosphere. This includes the effects of the solar wind
Space weather effects
GOES-11 and GOES-12 monitored space weather conditions during the October 2003 solar activity

GOES-7 monitors space weather conditions during the October 1989 solar activity resulted in a Forbush Decrease, ground level enhancements, and many satellite anomalies.
Geomagnetically induced currents are electrical currents induced at the Earth's surface by rapid changes in the Earth's geomagnetic field caused by space weather events. GICs can affect the normal ope
The basic principle for the generation of GIC: variations of the ionospheric currents (I(t)) generate an electric field (E(t)) driving GIC. Shown are also real GIC recordings from the Finnish natural gas pipeline.
