Space weather services

Space weather describes the conditions in space that affect Earth and human activities. It is mainly determined by the solar activity and is related to phenomena such as:

solar energetic particle events
geomagnetic storms
enhancements in the Van Allen belts
ionospheric disturbances
auroras
geomagnetic induced currents

Models and databases are provided by our scientists and engineers to understand, evaluate and predict the phenomena and their effects on technological systems.
