Space Weather: The Solar Perspective

Abstract: The term space weather refers to conditions on the Sun and in the solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere that can influence the performance and reliability of space-borne and ground-based technological systems and that can affect human life and health. Our modern hi-tech society has become increasingly vulnerable to disturbances from outside the Earth system, in particular to those initiated by explosive events on the Sun: Flares release flashes of radiation that can heat up the terrestrial at… Show more

“…[52] Based on the work in this paper, the next step is to apply the DBIE-NLFFF extrapolation method to the solar eruptive events studies [Low, 1996;Schwenn, 2006;, such as understanding the 3-D coronal magnetic field configurations associated with the X3.4 class flare event of NOAA 10930 on 13 December 2006 . To do the physical analyses for the solar eruptive events, a higher-resolution grid should be used in the NLFFF extrapolation calculations (e.g., 1″/pixel, the same resolution as the XRT images).…”

“…The largest SEP event attained its peak intensity during shock passage of the Earth on October 29. It is associated with the X17.2 flare and a halo CME about a day earlier (Schwenn 2006b). The maximum proton energy was probably larger than 1 GeV.…”

“…As the largest scale eruptive phenomenon in the solar atmosphere, it can be observed as observed as enhanced brightness propagating out from coronal-loop-sized scale (10 4 km), expand to cover a significant part of the solar surface which is responsible for the most extreme space weather effects at Earth [46]. Moreover, CMEs may frequently interact with the Earth (and other planets), producing a series of impacts on the terrestrial environment and the human high-tech activities [47,48]. Further observations indicate that CMEs can also be observed in other wavelengths, such as soft X-rays [49,50] , an extreme ultra-violet (EUV, [51,52], radio [53] and so on (H. S. Hudson & Cliver, 2001) .…”
