AbstractSpace weather refers to conditions in space that can influence technological systems, and can endanger human life or health. In Lund, we have focused on the solar drivers of space weather. We have also developed forecasts, based on intelligent systems, of both the space weather and effects. A space weather package, written in Java, will be delivered to ESA in October this year. This package could then be customized to specific users of space weather services, such as satellite and airline operators, communication and power system companies. The availability of real-time solar data is however crucial. A solar radar would play an important role. New exciting results within basic solar physics is also expected from the observations with a solar radar.The presentation (PDF) |
