Coronal Mass Ejection
A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is a significant release of plasma and magnetic fields from the solar corona. CMEs can disrupt satellite communications and power grids on Earth. They occur during solar flares and are linked to solar activity cycles. Understanding CMEs is crucial for space weather forecasting. Their effects can impact technology and infrastructure globally, including in India’s growing digital economy.
A recent study of a solar event from March 2023 has highlighted a growing challenge in space weather forecasting: not all dangerous geomagnetic storms are triggered by dramatic...
