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.

Predicting Nitrogen Isotope Fractionation in Nitrate Deposition on Early Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Noachian and early Hesperian Mars were likely warm and wet, with an atmosphere abundant in molecular nitrogen. The recent discovery of nitrate deposits in the Yellowknife Bay mudstones at Gale Crater confirm the existence of nitrogen oxides (NOX) on Noachian Mars. The processes responsible for the production of these nitrates would fractionate

Comparing Solar Structure Detection Methods in SDO/AIA Observations and the Application to Raw Uncalibrated Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Recent advances in solar physics increasingly rely on automated identification of coronal structures using machine learning. Yet most studies emphasize scientific performance without evaluating feasibility for onboard deployment to prioritize downlink observations.

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.

Machine Learning for Local Detection of Separators in Three‐Dimensional Magnetic Fields

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection is a major plasma phenomenon occurring in various key environments ranging from the Sun and near‐Earth space to astrophysical plasmas. While magnetic reconnection is relatively well‐understood under two‐dimensional (2D) settings, it remains challenging to characterize in three‐dimensional (3D) magnetic fields.

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,

Identifying and Predicting Coronal Mass Ejection Occurrence: Observational Checklists for Space Weather Forecasters

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Ejections of magnetized plasma from the Sun, known as coronal mass ejections, can drive major geomagnetic activity if Earth‐directed, and are therefore monitored by space weather forecasters. The current focus being the forecast of the arrival time of a coronal mass ejection at Earth and the level of geomagnetic impact.

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.

Validating SCUBAS Predictions of Geomagnetically Induced Voltage in Submarine Cables Using Legacy Superstorm Observations

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Modern submarine communication cables, though fiber‐optic in nature, remain vulnerable to space weather hazards due to their internal conductive cables used for powering repeaters. During geomagnetic storms, variations in the geomagnetic field induce geoelectric fields that drive geomagnetically induced voltages along these cables.
