The system uses neural networks to predict solar storms up to 48 hours in advance.
A multi-institutional research group based out of China has put together an "early warning" system that could aid in the accurate prediction of space weather, aEvery 11 years or so, the magnetic field of the Sun flips completely so that its north pole becomes south, while the south pole becomes north. The changes in the magnetic field of the Sun lead to visible changes on the solar surface, where regions of intense magnetic activity temporarily stop the convection process.
Luckily, the intensity of solar storms we have seen in the past few months has been on the lower end. However, with the Sun now in an active phase of its 11-year solar cycle, the intensity is expected to increase even further. Being able to predict solar flares and the resultant geomagnetic storms that they create can help spacecraft take evasive actions toScientists have multiple instruments that watch the solar surface for the appearance of sunspots.
