Developing the Scientific Basis for Monitoring, Modelling and Predicting Space Weather

Thanks to COST Action 724, space weather now has a European definition: Space weather is the physical and phenomenological state of natural space environments. The associated discipline aims, through obversation, monitoring, analysis and modeling, at understanding and predicting the state of the Sun, the interplanetary and planetary environments, and the solar and non-solar driven perturbations that affect them, and also at forecasting and nowcasting the potential impacts on biological and technological systems.
