"Unraveling the Implications: Decoding the Arrival of Solar Storms on Earth"

Federal forecasters have warned that Earth is likely to experience geomagnetic disturbances caused by incoming solar storms starting from Saturday and lasting through the next week. These disturbances, caused by coronal mass ejections from the sun, may result in an increase in sightings of the aurora borealis. In a worst-case scenario, strong geomagnetic storms can disrupt the electrical grid, degrade GPS signals, affect satellites, and pose radiation hazards to airline crews and astronauts.

"NASA and DIAS Harness AI to Enhance Solar Storm Predictions"

NASA has developed an AI model called DAGGER (Deep Learning Geomagnetic Perturbation) that can accurately forecast worldwide geomagnetic storms with a 30-minute lead time. By analyzing spacecraft data of the solar wind, the model can predict the location of upcoming solar storms, providing crucial preparation time to protect power grids and infrastructure. DAGGER combines AI with real-time space and Earth measurements, allowing stakeholders to receive advance warnings and implement necessary measures to safeguard assets and infrastructure from the disruptive effects of solar storms.

AI helps NASA predict and prepare for solar storms.

NASA has developed a computer model called DAGGER that uses AI to analyze spacecraft measurements of the solar wind and predict where an impending solar storm will strike, anywhere on Earth, with 30 minutes of advance warning. This could provide just enough time to prepare for these storms and prevent severe impact on power grids, Internet, mobile phones and other critical infrastructure. DAGGER can quickly and accurately predict geomagnetic disturbances worldwide, 30 minutes before they occur.
