Verification of operational solar flare forecast: Case of Regional Warning Center Japan

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2017
In this article, we discuss a verification study of an operational solar flare forecast in the Regional Warning Center (RWC) Japan. The RWC Japan has been issuing four-categorical deterministic solar flare forecasts for a long time.

Longitudinal Variation of Ionospheric Irregularities and Response of the Ionosphere During 10–13 May and 10–13 October 2024 Geomagnetic Storms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We examine the response of the ionosphere to the 10–13 May 2024 and 10–13 October 2024 geomagnetic storms, the two recent great geomagnetic storms of solar cycle 25. We identified the occurrence of ionospheric irregularities during the two geomagnetic storms.

First Global Machine Learning Model to Predict the Rate of TEC Index (ROTI) Response to X‐Class Solar Flares

Space Weather
Solar flares are bursts of electromagnetic radiation originating in the Sun's atmosphere. Solar flares cause a rapid increase in ionization in the ionosphere, resulting in radio signal interference.

Quantifying Uncertainty in OMNI Solar Wind Measurements Projected From L1 to the Earth's Bow Shock

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Many routine measurements of the solar wind plasma and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) are made at the L1 Sun–Earth Lagrange point; therefore, it is helpful to characterize the errors introduced in propagating these measurements to the near‐Earth environment.

Hemispheric comparison of solar flare associated cosmic noise absorption (SCNA) from high latitude stations: Maitri (70.75°S, 11.75°E) and Abisko (68.4°N, 18.9°E)

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
The effects of solar flares in the D-region ionosphere at two high-latitude stations: Maitri (70.75°S, 11.75°E) and Abisko (68.4°N, 18.9°E), located in different hemispheres are studied. We analyzed 37 M-class flares and 6 X-class flares of the year 2014,

Near‐Earth Solar Wind Speed of Fast Coronal Mass Ejections

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Using solar wind and ground magnetometer data for solar cycles 23–25, extreme‐value power‐law models are developed that quantify relationships between near‐Earth solar wind speed and Sun‐to‐Earth transit times of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs).

Solar Flare Activity, 1937–2024: Introducing the New Hemispheric Solar Flare Index (hSFI) in the Context of 2024's Major Solar Storm Events

Space Weather
A new daily composite of the solar flare index (SFI) and the hemispherically‐resolved versions (hSFI) are presented for 1937 to 2024. The data set confirms that the northern hemisphere (NH) dominated solar flare activity during Solar Cycles 17 to 21, but

A magnetic avalanche as the central engine powering a solar flare

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Solar flares are the most powerful, magnetically driven, explosions in the heliosphere. The nature of magnetic energy release in the solar corona that heats the plasma and accelerates particles in a flare, however, remains poorly understood.

An Ionospheric Storm Scale Index Based on TEC: Comparative Analysis for China Region

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Defining a standardized ionospheric storm scale is challenging given the ionosphere's inherent complexity and susceptibility to multiple driving factors. In this study, a novel ionospheric storm scale (ISS) index is developed based on statistical analysis of total electron content (TEC) data from 257 ground‐based GNSS stations across China ...
