Space weather services
Space weather describes the conditions in space that affect Earth and human activities. It is mainly determined by the solar activity and is related to phenomena such as:
- solar energetic particle events
- geomagnetic storms
- enhancements in the Van Allen belts
- ionospheric disturbances
- auroras
- geomagnetic induced currents
Models and databases are provided by our scientists and engineers to understand, evaluate and predict the phenomena and their effects on technological systems.
