We argue that this extreme event should be immediately employed by the space weather community to model severe
space weather effects on technological systems such as the electrical power grid.
As SEP events may produce very large enhancements in the ion production rate in the Venusian upper and middle atmosphere, investigations
of space weather effects at Venus are relevant to future missions to the planet, particularly those carrying low - frequency radar instruments (Nordheim et al. 2015).
It is clear that the weather and climate community can benefit from this via better representation
of space weather effects and their associated impacts on the Earth's atmosphere.
The space weathering effect has been puzzling reseachers working on planetary remote geochemical analysis until recently.
