There are five different types of solar flares. Discover what solar flares are, what causes them and the effects they have on Earth in our solar flare guide.
Quantitative solar flare prediction techniques are described, with emphasis given to multivariate discriminant analysis (MVDA) and the maximum entropy method, the methods used by NOAA's Space Environment Service Center (SESC) to process solar X-ray flux data in solar flare forecasts are described in...
Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO)/Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) magnetograms containing 1055 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) active regions within 30° of the solar disk center from 1996 to 2007 and used them to train and test the solar flare prediction model.Results...
Solar flaresare explosions of energy that occur on the Sun’s surface, often appearing as localized bursts of bright light. Although the energy they emit can disrupt technology on Earth and in orbit, NOAA's Space Weather Prediction said the recent flares and outage are unrelated. ...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) has been monitoring the sun following a strong “X-Class” solar flare and coronal mass ejection (CME) on October 8th and haveissued a Severe G4 Geomagnetic Storm Watchstarting Thursday morn...
Massive solar flares, including what NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center says is the largest solar flare of the current 11-year solar cycle, continue to explode from the Sun this week.
In the current work, the deep learning method is applied to set up the solar flare forecasting model, in which forecasting patterns can be learned from line-of-sight magnetograms of solar active regions. The paper [35] uses the CNN network structure to perform solar flare prediction, which ...
As of May 13, NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center said that a G3, or “strong,” geomagnetic storm warning was in effect until 2 a.m. ET. While stronger storms are no longer likely and conditions are expected to “gradually wane” throughout the day, the center said in its forecas...
