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.
