3D Model Could Improve Forecasting of Solar Eruptions

Recently, scientists have developed a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation model to better understand and forecast Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), including their speed, arrival and potential impact on Earth.

What are Coronal Mass Ejections?

  • Solar Eruptions: CMEs are massive eruptions of magnetised plasma from the Sun’s outer atmosphere.
  • High Speed: They can travel through space at millions of kilometres per hour.
  • Earth Impact: Earth-directed CMEs can disrupt satellites, communication systems and power grids.
  • Space Weather: CMEs are an important source of space-weather disturbances.

What is the New CME Model?

  • 3D Simulation: The model uses three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to trace ....
