The 2007 Space Weather Workshop

Report on the meeting of the Space/Space-Time group of the workshop: ”Extreme events in climate and weather”

There was a consensus on the need for non–statonary (in time) and non–homogeneous (in space) models of extremes. For concreteness, the group focused on precipitation measured over time at a collection of stations distributed over space. It is important to develop good models that capture: (i) changes in spatial dependence as a function of the season (ii) long–term temporal trends due to global ...

The science of space weather.

The basic physics underpinning space weather is reviewed, beginning with a brief overview of the main causes of variability in the near-Earth space environment. Although many plasma phenomena contribute to space weather, one of the most important is magnetic reconnection, and recent cutting edge research in this field is reviewed. We then place this research in context by discussing a number of...

Forecasting Space Weather

Forecasting space weather events presents the ultimate challenge to a space physics model. Not only should physical constraints be satisfied, but also practical issues such as timeliness, accuracy, and reliability must be adequately addressed. To address these needs, modern space weather forecasters and users rely on a great variety of space weather models, ranging from simple regressions and e...
