Abstract

Space weather refers to both the dynamic conditions in interplanetary space driven by the Sun and its subsequent impact on the near-Earth environment. Space weather can disrupt or destroy ground- and space-based infrastructure. Although not fully understood, its significance is growing rapidly with our increasing dependence on modern technology.
