Sophisticated ESA space weather tool under development
If a satellite encounters high-energy particles or other 'space weather' phenomena before ground controllers can take action, on-board electronics could be disrupted, scientific instruments damaged and, in very rare and extreme cases, spacecraft may even be lost.   view more (2007-02-05)

Researchers Identify Driver for Near-Earth Space Weather
New findings indicate that the aurora and other near-Earth space weather are driven by the rate at which the Earth's and Sun's magnetic fields connect, or merge, and not by the solar wind's electric field as was previously assumed.   view more (2006-12-12)

New instrumentation helps scientists better predict space weather
New instrumentation and observing techniques, being developed by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, are helping scientists better understand and predict space weather.   view more (2006-12-12)

New Data Reveals Weather Can Trigger a Migraine
Headache, a peer-reviewed journal published on behalf of the American Headache Society, features the most carefully done study on the influence of weather patterns on headache. The study, conducted over a two-year period by Dr. Prince and a number of headache specialists at The New England Center... view more (2004-07-15)

A cloud-free Europe captured by MSG-1
As most Europeans breathe a sigh of relief as this record-breaking summer draws to a close, the extreme weather conditions experienced in recent weeks have given us a rare view of an almost cloud-free Europe, taken by Europe's weather satellite MSG-1, launched a year ago this week. This enhanced... view more (2003-08-26)

Fibromyalgic pain is not worsened by weather
The widespread belief that pain levels in fibromyalgia predict worsening weather is not borne out by the facts, finds research in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.   view more (2002-02-08)

ESA studies the Sun-Earth climate link
Meteorologists can no longer view the Earth as an isolated system. Both long-term climate changes and day-to-day weather show links with the Sun`s activity. Scientists therefore study the nature of those links intensely. With data from ESA`s spaceprobes SOHO, Cluster, and Ulysses, we now have the... view more (2002-08-23)

New Models of Weather Pattern
For a mathematician, Joseph Biello spends a lot of time thinking about the weather. But the UC Davis assistant professor isn't looking out the office window. He is using mathematical theory to build a model of the Madden-Julian Oscillation, a tropical weather pattern that influences drought and... view more (2005-12-12)

Imaging The Invisible: A New Look At Space Weather
How is it possible to image tiny particles that are normally invisible? What happens to our planet and its surroundings when huge solar storms collide with Earth's magnetic shield? These are just some of the questions that will be addressed this week during the UK/Ireland National Astronomy Meeting... view more (2003-03-31)

MSG-1 weather satellite ready for commissioning
ESA PR 61-2002. The first of Eumetsat`s new generation of weather satellites, MSG-1, has arrived on station at 10.5°W in geostationary orbit at 36,000 kilometres above the Earth. After separation from the Ariane-5 launcher on 29 August, ESA's European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt... view more (2002-09-27)

Scientists accurately simulate appearance of sun's corona during eclipse
The most true-to-life computer simulation ever made of our sun's multimillion-degree outer atmosphere, the corona, successfully predicted its actual appearance during the March 29, 2006, solar eclipse, scientists have announced.   view more (2006-06-27)

New spaceship force field makes Mars trip possible
According to the international space agencies, "Space Weather" is the single greatest obstacle to deep space travel. Radiation from the sun and cosmic rays pose a deadly threat to astronauts in space.   view more (2008-11-04)

Mind the gap: Space scientists uncover causes of gap in Van Allen belts
A team of British and US scientists have discovered that the gap in the Van Allen radiation belts is formed by natural wave turbulence in space, not by lightning.   view more (2006-09-27)

NOAA: Sunspot is harbinger of new solar cycle, increasing risk for electrical systems
A new 11-year cycle of heightened solar activity, bringing with it increased risks for power grids, critical military, civilian and airline communications, GPS signals and even cell phones and ATM transactions, showed signs it was on its way late Thursday when the cycle's first sunspot appeared in... view more (2008-01-08)

Aussies plan for Mars weather forecasts
A team of Australian astronomers have developed a way of forecasting the weather on Mars - without putting their toes in space and created beautiful images of our neighbouring planet.   view more (2004-09-09)

Media invitation - Follow the launch of MSG-1 from ESA and Arianespace establishments
ESA PR 57-2002. About 25 years after the first Meteosat weather satellite was lofted, the first of a new generation (MSG-1) is to be launched by an Ariane 5 launcher from Europe`s Spaceport in Kourou during the night of 27/28 August, at 19:30 hrs Kourou time (00:30 CEST). With sophisticated new... view more (2002-08-21)

Warm weather drives up numbers of children requiring emergency care
Warm sunny weather drives up the numbers of children requiring emergency care, finds a study in Emergency Medicine Journal. The research was carried out between May and June last year at the Accident and Emergency Medicine Department of the Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital. The hospital operates... view more (2003-03-17)

Professor makes sense of chaos
Research by a University of Sunderland psychologist has revealed that one in four people may have a special gift for predicting uncertainties like the weather. Tests carried out by Professor Richard Heath, from the university's Business School, also showed that this uncanny ability could possibly... view more (2002-03-07)

Researcher works with European Space Agency to test moisture satellite
Europeans want to peek into our soil and see how dry we are. And an Iowa State University professor is eager to help, and even check their results.   view more (2008-04-28)

Astrophysicists find fractal image of Sun's 'Storm Season' imprinted on Solar Wind
Plasma astrophysicists at the University of Warwick have found that key information about the Sun's 'storm season' is being broadcast across the solar system in a fractal snapshot imprinted in the solar wind.   view more (2007-05-29)

Models play important role in understanding extreme weather
Weather is a hot topic here in Interior Alaska and a quick way to get anyone talking. Not a day goes by in winter months without some observations of temperatures, air inversions, or even a mention that the sun budged another degree above the horizon.   view more (2007-03-29)

NASA & NSF create unprecedented view of upper atmosphere
Scientists from NASA and the National Science Foundation discovered a way to combine ground and space observations to create an unprecedented view of upper atmosphere disturbances during space storms.   view more (2005-12-06)

Launch of weather satellite CD-ROM
The CD-ROM has been produced on behalf of the Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites Meteorological Satellites (CGMS). Its production follows nearly 40 years of data from space, helping improve meteorology, monitoring of the climate, the state of the oceans, land surfaces and planetary... view more (1999-08-17)

"For they sow the WIND..."
Early summer is the season for extreme weather conditions such as violent thunderstorms in central Europe. Studies undertaken by insurance companies indicate that climate change has a dramatic impact on weather conditions. No wonder, then, that home owners, farmers, gardeners and mountain climbers... view more (2002-07-22)
