The Need for Long-Term Solar-Terrestrial Data Series
Editor of Space Weather and a distinguished research professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, in Newark
Designing technical systems to operate successfully under space weather conditions requires accurate knowledge of the climatology of the solar- terrestrial environment. Unfortunately, there are too few long-term direct measurements of this environment. This often places engineers in a dilemma: either overdesign a system to compensate for extreme space weather occurrences—resulting in increased costs—or assume a more benign environment to lower costs—and thus likely increase system risk. Such a dilemma often faces designers of systems that are to operate in Earth's radiation belts, where current models, more than 3 decades old, were not constructed for climatological use.
