The
Air Force Weather Agency has perfected a space weather modeling
capability that offers 72-hour forecasts from near earth to 40,000
miles out in space. These graphical depictions, officials say, will
help minimize disruption on satellite systems and communications
in the hurly-burly of storms in outer space.
The magnetospheric model also will alert high frequency and radar
users on the ground of solar interruptions.
