by Savvas Raptis, Manolis K. Georgoulis, Mikhail Sitnov, Anthony Sciola and Simon Wing 11 June 202611 June 2026

Modern machine learning and AI methods can help heliophysics researchers and space weather forecasters overcome limitations from a dearth of observations and the infrequency of extreme events.

Dipolarization fronts (DFs), bursty bulk flows (BBFs), flux transfer events (FTEs), and Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) in a high-resolution simulation of an idealized substorm.
