North Europe power transmission system vulnerability during extreme space weather
Space weather driven by solar activity can induce geomagnetic disturbances at the Earth's surface that can affect power transmission systems. Variations in the geomagnetic field result in geomagnetically induced currents that can enter the system through its grounding connections, saturate transformers and lead to system instability and possibly collapse. This study analyzes the impact of extre...
متن کاملThe utility of polarized heliospheric imaging for space weather monitoring
A polarizing heliospheric imager is a critical next generation tool for space weather monitoring and prediction. Heliospheric imagers can track coronal mass ejections (CMEs) as they cross the solar system, using sunlight scattered by electrons in the CME. This tracking has been demonstrated to improve the forecasting of impact probability and arrival time for Earth-directed CMEs. Polarized imag...
متن کاملForecasting Space Weather
Forecasting space weather events presents the ultimate challenge to a space physics model. Not only should physical constraints be satisfied, but also practical issues such as timeliness, accuracy, and reliability must be adequately addressed. To address these needs, modern space weather forecasters and users rely on a great variety of space weather models, ranging from simple regressions and e...
متن کاملReal time monitoring for nowcasting and forecasting ionospheric space weather in Europe with ground digisondes
The Earth’s ionosphere largely determines space weather effects on radio wave communications, navigation and surveillance systems. Lately there has been an increasing demand for ionospheric nowcast and accurate forecast services by various groups of users, including European industry. The paper reviews research activities in Europe based on the exploitation of real-time ground digisondes for th...
متن کاملMonitoring and adjusting ground-based weather radar in Europe using TRMM space-borne radar
* Corresponding author: Marco Gabella – [email protected] This research was co-funded by the European Commission as part of contract EVK2-CT-2002-00155 (VOLTAIRE). Abstract – We show how the TRMM Precipitation Radar (TPR) can be used to monitor and adjust Ground-based Radar (GR) data as a function of the distance from the radar site. The analysis is based on the average, linear radar reflectivi...
