[edit] Substantial modifications to the entry needed?
Although previous contributions to the entry are greatly appreciated, in my opinion the entry on Space Weather is at the moment quite fragmented and contains partially inaccurate information. General reconstruction of the entry may thus be beneficial. This in mind, Ground Effects Topical Group of European Space Agency's Space Weather Working Team (SWWT) contributed a new section on ground effects of space weather to the entry. Perhaps other space weather experts, for example, from other Topical Groups of SWWT could contribute similar basics-level (more in depth text could be given in more specific articles like that on geomagnetically induced currents) sections to the entry?

[edit] Space Weather and its effects on our weather
- It's an interesting topic that isn't that well-known, but could be an interesting expansion to the article if anyone wants to hear about it. The correlation between the solar wind speeds and large-scale storm development is quite shocking. Unfortunately, there's nothing published about such a correlation yet, which is why I ask if anyone is interested. WindRunner 03:00, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
- I haven't heard of the relation between the solar wind and storms, but it definitely has an effect on geomagnetic activity. As far as terrestrial weather goes I do recall hearing something about how increased cosmic ray flux during solar minimum can lead to increased cloud formation (something about water vapor condensing around ionized particles). Interesting stuff. -Loren 05:57, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
