Operational Space Weather Services in Norway
摘要
Space weather can have important consequences for both safety and performance of operations in the polar regions. Examples of space weather effects are the degradation of quality of trans-ionospheric radio signals and reduced reliability of satellite-based navigation services during increased geomagnetic activity. Thus, there are worldwide efforts to study the space weather effects and develop robust nowcasting and forecasting services for end-users. The geographic location of Norway is favorable for such studies in the Arctic, but at the same time the air, sea, and terrestrial operations in Norway are subject to various space weather effects. This paper gives an overview of Norwegian space weather research infrastructure and activities, as well as insight into operational space weather services in Norway.
