About this technology

Overview

Currently there is no central database for space weather researchers and forecasters to ascertain observed space weather events. Instead, data is being recorded by scientists in a blog. However, this information is not easily searchable. This innovation is a database where weather events are entered and linkages, relationships, and cause-and-effects between various space weather events are recorded.
