SPRINGERBRIEFS IN ASTRONOMY SPACE WEATHER AND...

Space weather has attracted a lot of attention in recent times. Severe space weather can
disrupt spacecraft  and on Earth can be the cause of power outages and power station failure.
It also presents a radiation hazard for airline passengers and astronauts. These magnetic
storms are most commonly caused by coronal mass ejections  or CMES  which are large eruptions
of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun that can reach speeds of several thousand km s. In
this SpringerBrief  Space Weather and Coronal Mass Ejections  author Timothy Howard briefly
introduces the coronal mass ejection  its scientific importance  and its relevance to space
weather at Earth and other planets. This title focuses on the latest advances in CME
observation and modeling  including new results from the NASA STEREO and SDO missions. It also
includes topical issues regarding space weather and the most recent observations and anecdotal
examples of the impacts of space weather and CMEs.
