Spatial meteorological phenomena: linked to human activity.
Spatial meteorological phenomena: linked to human activity.
Our Cold War history is giving scientists an opportunity to better understand the complex space system that surrounds us. Space time, which may include changes in Earth's magnetic environment are often triggered by the activity of the sun, but recently declassed data on high-altitude nuclear explosion tests have provided a new look at the mechansisms that trigger perturbations in that magnetic system . This information can help support NASA's efforts to protect satellites and astronauts from the inherent natural radiation in space.
From 1958 to 1962, the USA And the USSR made high-altitude tests with exotic code names like Starfish, Argos and Teak. The tests have long since ended, and the targets at the time were military. Today, however, it can provide crucial information on how humans can affect space. The tests, and other man-made space climate, are the center of a new comprehensive study published in Space Science Commentaries. The tests were an example of the human generated and extreme of some of the effects of space weather often caused by the sun Phil Erickson, assistant director at MIT's Haystack Observatory, Westford, Massachusetts, and co-author of the article. If we understand what happened in the case of a somewhat controlled extreme and that was caused by one of these events made by man, we can more easily understand the natural variation in the environment of the near space.
