NCAR is a leading partner in the development of a model simulation that will transform scientists’ ability to model the impacts of space weather storms, which can disrupt radio communications, damage satellites, endanger astronauts, and down electrical grids.
Join us for two excellent opportunities to broaden and deepen your understanding of Space Weather and Heliophysics, and to connect with the broader space physics community—the Boulder Space Weather Summer School and the Heliophysics Summer School.
The Upgraded Coronal Multi-Channel Polarimeter (UCoMP) coronagraph was deployed to Mauna Loa Solar Observatory in 2021. UCoMP observes the solar corona from 1.03 to 2 solar radii over a wide range of wavelengths, allowing scientists to explore the magnetic structure of the Sun’s corona over a wide range of plasma temperatures.
On November 29, 2021, NASA announced a new paper where "scientists presented the first direct measurements" from the ICON mission whose purpose is to observe a very complex geospace system. The missions goal is to understand the clash between Earth's atmosphere and the space environment transpiring in the ionosphere.
