Abstract

“Space Weather” describes the conditions in the terrestrial system, particularly on its outer envelope, that can affect various ground- and space-borne technologies due to the impact of energetic particles and magnetic fields streaming from the Sun. This could occur either due to the continuous flow of solar wind or due to the onset of CMEs or flares in a short interval of time. While the chain of processes involved in transmitting the adverse, hazardous effects of these energetic particles into the Earth’s atmosphere is extremely complex, over the past several years considerable effort has been undertaken to understand and predict space weather on time-scales from a few minutes-tohours up to a few days.
