Heliophysics and Space Weather: From Solar Dynamics to Geomagnetic Storms

Explore heliophysics and space weather with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center astrophysicist James Klimchuk in this comprehensive AGU presentation. Delve into the four physical regimes of space physics, examining the Sun's visible and ultraviolet light, as well as its corona. Understand the basic physics behind the Sun's corona, magnetic fields, and nanoflares. Learn about the Solar Dynamics Observatory, solar prominences, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Discover the consequences of space weather on satellites, Earth's magnetic field, and geomagnetic storms. Gain insights into predicting CMEs, understanding substorms, and the impact of solar flares on our planet.
