Like ships at sea,S/C sail the ocean of NES! • And like their terrestrial counterparts S/C must endure sever storms in the environment in order to perform their mission

YT 4_5 Yer manyetosferindeki bozulmalar gezegenlerarası manyetik alan (IMF) Güneye döndüğünde oluşur. Yeniden birleşme sürecinde, IMF kuvvet çizgileri, gündüz tarafında, Kuzeye doğru olan Yer manyetik alan Çizgileriyle manyeto aralıkta birleşir (1). Güneş rüzgarının enerji ve parçacıkları manyetosfere hücum ederken Kuzey ve Güney “lobe” bölümleri genişler, büyür, plazma tabakası incelir. Bundan sonra Yer manyetik alanı kuvvet çizgilerinin kendileri yeniden birleşir (2). Bu süreç ile iyonlar ve elektronlar Yer’e doğru ivmelenmeye başlar (Burch, 2001).
YT 4_4 The electrons and ions in the Van Allen belts are effectively trapped in Earth's magnetic dipole field. Bouncing between hemispheres, they reverse their motion at their closest approach to Earth, while at the same time drifting around it. If their trajectories take them too deeply into the atmosphere where they collide with the ambient particles and lose their energy, they are lost from the radiation belts. In this figure, "trapped ACR" refers to ions that originate in the interstellar gas, while energetic secondary ions originate from collisions of cosmic rays with atmospheric gases (courtesy of J.B. Blake, The Aerospace Corporation). http://www.windows.ucar.edu/spaceweather/build_storm3.html

Impact of Space Weather(SW) “Impact of SW has been apparent in the polar skies for years. When the first human beings crossed the land bridge from Asia to the Western Hemisphere, above them danced the ghostly greens and yellows and reds of the northern aurora.”

WHAT'S THAT BRIGHT SPOT IN THE CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS IMAGE? What are those bright spots that appear in the CME Image, people often ask. Notice in the example above, the spot indicated by the red arrows appears to move from right to left over the course of three days. The Sungrazer Project (link is external) page hosted by the Naval Research Lab can answer that question. For our example, the Sungrazer page shows that the bright spot is Mercury, and will be visible from July 17-July 30.
These CME Images are provided by the SOHO/LASCO coronagraph (link is external) instrument. Sometimes there are gaps in the imagery when the SOHO spacecraft is not being tracked by the Deep Space Network (DSN). Tracking time available on the DSN must be shared among several spacecraft, so SOHO is not tracked continuously.
Problems in Birds’ Navigation Homing pigeons and most migrating birds use the magnetic field of the Earth to navigate. They have tiny magnets in their brain which act as a kind of compass. If the magnetic fieldsis distorted during a geomagnetic storm, the birds may get lost and cannot find home. F. Jansen, R. Hippler, Space Weather Edition II CD, Univ. Greifswald, Inst.
