Special Report From Switzerland: Solar Storm Forecast 04-18-2018
This week I get help doing the forecast from a team of stealthy solar storm experts, who have all gathered in Bern, Switzerland for an ISSI team meeting. The Sun has also chosen this week to become quite active with multiple bright regions that will boost the solar flux for amateur radio operators and emergency responders. We also have a coronal hole that will be sending us some fast solar wind in the next few days, which brings good news for aurora photographers, especially at high latitudes. Come meet the ISSI team of physicists, who are helping shape the future of space weather prediction, catch up on some recent aurora photos, and see what else the Sun has in store!

None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of those who have provided all of this data for public use.
Images c/o NASA/ESA/CSA (most notably the superb SDO, SOHO, ACE, STEREO, CCMC, JPL & DSN teams, amazing professionals, hobbyists, institutions, organizations, agencies and amateurs such as those at the USAF/HAARP, NICT, NOAA, USGS, Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Intellicast, Catatania, rice.edu, wisc.edu, sonoma.edu ucalgary.ca, rssi.ru, ohio-state.edu, solen.info, and more. Thanks for making Space Weather part of our every day dialogue.
