Space Weather Conditions. An abundance of sunspot groups are present on the visible solar disk and R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) flares remain likely 15-18 July. GOES-U Satellite Successfully Launched!
This product is designed to be a one page, simple look at recently observed and a three day forecast of space weather conditions. A brief description of why conditions occurred or are forecast is also included for each category.
For many people, the aurora is a beautiful nighttime phenomenon that is worth traveling to arctic regions just to observe. It is the only way for most people to actually experience space weather.
Space weather scientists at NOAA and experts across the government celebrated a new collaborative effort to improve space weather forecasts and services to mitigate impacts of space weather.
Space Weather describes the variations in the space environment between the sun and Earth. In particular Space Weather describes the phenomena that impact systems and technologies in orbit and on Earth. Space weather can occur anywhere from the surface of the sun to the surface of Earth.
NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) is the official source for space weather forecasts for our nation. They forecast solar storms, much like other National Weather Service offices forecast weather here on Earth.
space near Earth or in the Earth’s atmosphere. Most of the disruptions caused by space weather storms affect technology, and susceptible technology is quickly growing in use. Satellites, for example, once rare and only government-owned, are now numerous and carry weather information, military surveillance, TV and other communications signals ...
Products. 27-Day Outlook of 10.7 cm Radio Flux and Geomagnetic Indices. 3-Day Forecast. 3-Day Geomagnetic Forecast. ACE Ground Station Tracking Plots. ACE Real-Time Solar Wind. Alerts, Watches and Warnings. Aurora - 30 Minute Forecast.
In Space Weather, persistence and recurrence of active regions on the sun over the 27-day solar rotational period play an important role in accurately forecasting the space environment.
Different types of space weather can affect different technologies at Earth. Solar flares can produce strong x-rays that degrade or block high-frequency radio waves used for radio communication during events known as Radio Blackout Storms.
