Space weather impact on aviation – an important research area at DLR-SO
You work in aviation and want to help with our research? The IMPC is conducting a survey to understand how space weather events affect aviation operations. Your feedback will help improve our understanding of these impacts and contribute to optimized space weather services for the aviation industry. The survey should take only a few minutes to complete, and your responses will remain confidential.

Severe solar flare event on 06.09.2017
On September 6th around 12 UT, sunspot AR2673 unleashed a major X9.3-class solar flare - the strongest solar flare in more than a decade, cf. image below. Although this flare was very powerful and accompanied by a CME it is relatively mild when comparing it with extreme events like the "Halloween Storm Event" (2003) or "Carrington Event" (1859). The arrival of the CME is expected two or three days…
Ionospheric Response to the Solar Eclipse on 21 August 2017
Solar eclipses are always fascinating events for all people having the opportunity to experience it directly. For atmospheric scientists solar eclipses are huge active experiments for studying the response of the Earth’s neutral atmosphere and ionosphere on the well-defined turn off and on of the solar illumination. This will be also the case for the solar eclipse over North America on 21 August…
