We welcome you to apply for STFC-sponsored studentships in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading. Projects are being offered allowing students to investigate the origins of the solar wind, to explore the source of structure in coronal mass ejections, and to develop new models of Outer Radiation Belt dynamics. See The post SPATE PhD studentships available! appeared first on…

Credit: ESA.[/caption] During geomagnetic substorms, stored magnetic and plasma thermal energies are explosively converted into plasma kinetic energy. This rapid reconfiguration of Earth’s nightside magnetosphere is manifest in the ionosphere as an auroral display that fills the sky. Progress in…
In order to forecast space weather, it is necessary to accurately model the solar wind, the continually expanding solar atmosphere which fills the solar system. At present, telescopic observations of the Sun's surface are used to provide the starting conditions for computer simulations of the solar wind, which then propagate conditions all the way from The post Nudging solar wind forecasts back…
