Description Space Weather encompasses the physical and phenomenological state of the natural space environment, including the Sun, the solar wind, the magnetosphere, the ionosphere and the thermosphere, and its interaction with the Earth. Space weather applications aim at observing, understanding and predicting the state of the Sun, of the interplanetary and planetary environment, their disturbances, and the impacts of these disturbances on biological and technological systems.
