New research may improve solar storm predictions

A new study promises an improved understanding of the sun’s seasonal changes — changes that dictate the sun’s electromagnetic behavior.

In the new report, scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research detail the manner in which bands of strong magnetic fields in each solar hemisphere influence seasonal solar activity — the waxing and waning of solar storms’ frequency and power.

By better measuring the ways these solar bands govern the sun’s 11-year solar cycles (and its broader 22-year cycle), scientist hope to improve solar storm forecasting. Better predicting powerful solar flares and coronal mass ejections could help engineers protect satellite communication systems and electrical grids from disruption.
