How open data and interdisciplinary collaboration improve our understanding of space weather: A risk and resiliency perspective
Abstract
Space weather refers to conditions around a star, like our Sun, and its
interplanetary space that may affect space- and ground-based assets as well
as human life. Space weather can manifest as many different phenomena,
often simultaneously, and can create complex and sometimes dangerous
conditions. The study of space weather is inherently trans-disciplinary,
including subfields of solar, magnetospheric, ionospheric, and atmospheric
research communities, but benefiting from collaborations with policymakers,
industry, astrophysics, software engineering, and many more.
