What is Space Weather

Definition

What Causes Space Weather?

• Solar Activity and the Solar Wind
• The Earth's Magnetosphere: Geomagnetic Storms and Substorms
• Radiation Belts
• Galactic Cosmic Rays, Solar Protons and their entry into the Magnetosphere
• Meteoroids and Space Debris

Who is affected by space weather and what it can do ?

• Effects on Spacecraft & Aircraft
• Power Distribution Networks and Pipelines
• Oil and mineral Prospecting
• Communication Systems
• Risks to human health
• Space weather influence on climate change
• Insuring against space weather effects
