Satellite imaging reveals two narrow channels of extreme winds surrounded by gentle opposing flow 140–250 kilometers above sea level.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
The Parker Solar Probe will study the Sun’s corona and its electric and magnetic fields, as well as the mechanisms that drive the solar wind, all from behind an advanced protective heat shield.Read More »Natural Hazards
Weather forecasts combine many model predictions to create an ensemble that is more accurate than separate models, a technique now starting to be applied in space weather science.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
On 6 September 2017, as Category 5 Hurricane Irma hit the Caribbean’s Leeward Islands, and Tropical Storm Jose hovered in the wings, another storm erupted on the Sun.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
This pioneer in high-energy solar physics devised instruments for observing solar and cosmic ray emissions with which he detected, for the first time, nuclear gamma rays from solar flares.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
Simultaneous satellite observations from different distances of Earth’s magnetic tail offer insight into how these instability waves evolve through time and space.Read More »Natural Hazards
Very low frequency radio, a well-proven tool for solar-terrestrial studies, proves to be adept at detecting the stresses that space weather imposes on the transformers at the heart of power grids.Read More »Natural Hazards
Solar wind drivers affecting the satellite environment have about a one hour predictive horizon, but solar wind speed periodicities and ensemble modeling can extend the forecast interval.Read More »Space Science & Space Physics
