Zusammenfassung |
The term space weather is used for the solar driven variability in particle
and electromagnetic conditions of the near-Earth space that may harm the
performance of ground-based and space-borne technology. The European Union
(EU) and the European Space Agency (ESA) have started a common programme
called the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES). Many of the
GMES operational services will rely on technology prone to space weather
phenomena. For long-term environmental monitoring this is not a problem, but
for applications of risk management in emergency situations the impact of
space weather should be considered and evaluated. In this paper, we discuss
how ESA's previous activity together with European national initiatives in
the space weather area can be used to support GMES and how EU could
participate in this work in its Framework Programmes and within the European
Research Area (ERA). |
