«In terms of space weather forecasting, we're where meteorologists were in the 1950s.

Not exact matches

Yet the surfaces of nearly half of all NEAs appear fresh, as scientists term it, with no effects of space weathering.

The study of planetary atmospheres other than the Earth's, and in particular the study of the role of plasma - neutral interactions in their evolution, could contribute to our understanding of the long - term space weather (referred to also as space climate) effects and finally the origins of life itself (Yamauchi & Wahlund 2007).

In view of future missions to the outer Solar System, an accurate identification of the space weather conditions around a planet can contribute significantly in the estimation of the water abundances in the planetary atmospheres and their long - and short - term variability.

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has a 3 year, fixed term appointment available as part of a NERC funded project: Modelling the acceleration, transport and loss of radiation belt electrons to protect satellites from space weather (Rad - Sat).

These long - term observations of the sun are intended to improve the accuracy of space weather forecasts.

«For example, Biological Sciences units work much better in Terms 1 and 4 when the weather is warmer; Earth and Space Sciences work better for us in south - east Queensland in Term 3, when there's less chance of cloud and more variety of weather types.»

He says skeptics should be careful to distinguish between weather - which is local and short - term - and climate, which covers broad stretches of time and space.

The greatest potential damage caused by space weather in economic terms would be the destruction of infrastructure required for continent - sized power distribution systems.

Residential and commercial consumption of natural gas is primarily for space heating, water heating, and cooking; the most influential short - term factor for these sectors is weather (quantified here as heating degree - days).

Therefore it is necessary to investigate the impact of space weather / climate on long - term trends in the upper atmosphere - ionosphere system.

Therefore, important question to be answered in the recent studies is how to assess the impact of space weather / climate on long - term trends in the upper atmosphere - ionosphere system.

The role of space weather / climate in long - term changes and trends in the upper atmosphere - ionosphere was more important in the past, when it controlled the trends in ionospheric parameters.

Concerning space weather, future studies should focus on analysis of the long - lasting and very deep solar cycle minimum and related very low level of geomagnetic activity in order to estimate its influence on long - term trends in the ionosphere, particularly on future trends, as we can expect weak solar cycles in the coming decades.

Long - term trends and changes (longer than solar cycle) can partly be caused by long - term changes of trend drivers of solar / space weather origin like geomagnetic activity, which in terms of the aa - index was increasing over almost the whole 20th century (e.g., Mursula & Martini 2006), even though now it is low.

we have grown infrastructure exponentially in such a short space of time that we have no idea what any of the extreme weather patterns mean for the long term survival of life on Earth.
