Zusammenfassung |
Eruptive activity of the Sun produces a chain of extreme geophysical events:
high-speed solar wind, magnetic field disturbances in the interplanetary
space and in the geomagnetic field and also intense fluxes of energetic
particles. Space storms can potentially destroy spacecrafts, adversely
affect astronauts and airline crew and human health on the Earth, lead to
pipeline breaking, melt electricity transformers, and discontinue
transmission. In this paper we deal with two consequences of space storms:
(i) rise in failures in the operation of railway devices and (ii) rise in
myocardial infarction and stroke incidences. |
