Sporadic and massive solar eruptions of very high-energy matter and radiation from the Sun can have a pronounced impact on businesses involving navigation, communication and transport of energy. In extreme cases, these eruptions pose a safety risk to human health. Periods of solar activity are generally referred to as solar storms, as part of the changing conditions in space called space weather.
Businesses possibly impacted by space weather want to learn on this natural hazard and increase their resilience. Space weather staff, like meteorologists, want to meet certain competence levels.
