The emergence of models of space weather


They manage to do this using the data collected by the fleet of spacecraft that NASA has in orbit around the Sun laboratory analysts provide information to a group of supercomputers which is responsible for processing. A few hours after an eruption of great magnitude, computers produce a three dimensional film shows where the storm goes and what planets and spacecraft will be hit, also predicts the film will occur when each impact. This type of prediction of interplanetary weather is unprecedented in the short history of weather forecasting in space."This is an exciting time to work as a forecaster of space weather," says Ante Pulkkinen, who is a researcher at the Laboratory of Space Weather. "The emergence of models of space weather based on serious physical is giving us the ability to predict if and when a major event."
