Space weather has attracted a lot of attention in recent times. Severe space weather
can disrupt spacecraft, and on Earth can be the cause of power outages and power station
failure. It also presents a radiation hazard for airline passengers and astronauts.
These "magnetic storms" are most commonly caused by coronal mass ejections, or CMES,
which are large eruptions of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun that can reach
speeds of several thousand km/s. In this SpringerBrief, Space Weather and Coronal
Mass Ejections, author Timothy Howard briefly introduces the coronal mass ejection,
its scientific importance, and its relevance to space weather at Earth and other planets.
This title focuses on the latest advances in CME observation and modeling, including
new results from the NASA STEREO and SDO missions. It also includes topical issues
regarding space weather and the most recent observations and anecdotal examples of
the impacts of space weather and CMEs
