S. Department of Commerce  \nNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration  \nNational Weather Service  \nNational Centers for Environmental Prediction  \nSpace Weather Prediction Center [www.swpc.noaa.gov](www.swpc.noaa.gov)  \n325 Broadway  \nBoulder, CO 80305  \nA Profile of Space Weather  \nSpace Weather describes the conditions in space that affect Earth and its technological systems. Space Weather is a consequence of the behavior of the Sun, the nature of Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere, and our location in the solar system.  \nThe active elements of space weather are particles, electromagnetic energy, and magnetic field, rather than the more commonly known weather contributors of water, temperature, and air.  \nHurricanes and tsunamis are dangerous, and forecasting their arrival is a vital part of dealing with severe weather. Similarly, the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) forecasts space weather to assist users in avoiding or mitigating severe space weather. These are storms that originate from the Sun and occur in 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, credit card and pager transmissions, navigation data, and cell phone conversations. With the rising sophistication of our technologies, and the number of people that use technology, vulnerability to space weather events has increased dramatically.  \nThe NOAA Space Weather Scales  \nFor years, solar activity was reported and used to predict disruptions on Earth. Recently, the NOAA Space Weather Scales were designed to report three categories of disruptions. The types of storms are listed below with the kinds of problems they can cause. (A complete listing of the Scales is shown on the last page of the book.)  \nGeomagnetic Storms  \nInduced Currents in the atmosphere and on the ground • Electric Power Grid systems suffer from wide  \nspread voltage control problems and possible transformer damage, with the biggest storms resulting in complete power grid collapse or black-outs.  \n• Pipelines carrying oil, for instance, can be damaged by the high currents.  \nElectric Charges in Space  \n• Satellites may acquire extensive surface and bulk charging (from energetic particles, primarily electrons), resulting in problems with the components and electronic systems onboard the spacecraft.  \nGeomagnetic disruption in the upper atmosphere  \n• HF (high frequency) radio propagation may be impossible in many areas for a few hours to a couple of days. Aircraft relying on HF communications are often unable to communicate with their control centers.  \n• Satellite navigation (like GPS receivers) maybe degraded for days, again putting many users at risk, including airlines, shipping, and recreational users.  \n• Satellites can experience satellite drag, causing them to slow and even change orbit. They will on occasion need to be boosted back to higher orbits.  \n• The Aurora, or northern/southern lights, can be seen in high latitudes (e.g. Alaska and across the northern states) . In very large storms the aurora has been seen in middle and low latitudes such as Florida and further south. This is one of the delights of space weather, but it also signals trouble to groups impacted by geomagnetic storms.  \nSolar Radiation Storms  \nRadiation Hazard to Humans  \n• High radiation hazards to astronauts can be limited by staying inside a shielded spaceship. This is a problem for astronauts outside the International Space Station as well as on the Moon or any planet.  \n• The same kind of exposure, although less threatening, troubles passengers and crew in high-flying aircraft at high latitudes.
