New model may improve solar storm forecasts
Scientists developed a computer model to predict solar eruption speeds. This model helps forecast disruptions to satellites and power grids. Researchers studied Coronal Mass Ejections and their magnetic origins. Observations supported the link between magnetic reconnection and eruption acceleration. These findings improve forecasting of solar event impacts on Earth.
The Sun, a vital source of energy for the Earth, occasionally manifests intense events such as solar explosions. These phenomena cause ejections of coronal mass, releasing large volumes of plasma and magnetic fields into space. When directed to our planet, this material interacts with the Earth's magnetic field, resulting in various effects, since the spectacle of [...]
A NASA artificial intelligence model anticipates active regions of the Sun up to 12 hours before they erupt. The system, born in the COFFIES project, converts almost imperceptible readings of the solar interior into an early warning for solar and geomagnetic storms. When an active region crosses the solar surface, it becomes a motor for flares and coronal mass ejections. These explosions launch radiation and charged particles that, upon reaching…
