Space weather—the space-based phenomena that affect human and technological systems—can damage orbiting satellites and harm humans in space. But on a more regional level, space weather can induce currents on long conductors, such as pipelines and power lines. It can also disrupt radio communications between ground locations and aircraft. Most Northern Hemisphere countries monitor regional effects from adverse space weather in their hemisphere. Their collective research and calculations provide a comprehensive view of the phenomena that affect their region.
