This event brings together experts on space climate to give an overview of how the coupled sun-to-Earth system responsible for “space weather” behaves on longer timescales. This includes “bottom-up” effects of terrestrial climate change on the space environment, vital for the satellite sector, and potential “top-down” effects on Earth’s climate from solar radiation and particles, included in a few studies for the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP).
This event is mainly intended for academic and early career researchers, for sharing expertise in the UK and beyond in this area with the terrestrial climate community. This event will give attendees an accessible summary of relevant topics, and a chance to build connections.
This meeting may also interest those in industry (e.g members of the Hazards Forum, or the RMetS Energy and Insurance Special Interest Groups): climatology and projection bounds on extreme space weather are relevant to those operating nuclear facilities, while those in the satellite sector may need to consider changing risks to their business posed by e.g. long-term changes to radiation hazards, or terrestrial climate change modulating the space debris environment. Such needs may create opportunities for space climate services, helping industry plan for and adapt to the changing space environment, equivalent to the current role the climate service sector plays for terrestrial applications.
