Extreme Space Weather is driven by large-scale eruptions from the Sun called coronal mass ejections. Upon arrival at the Earth, these produce amazing auroral displays but also endanger satellites and astronauts, and disrupt communications and power grids. Forecasting these events is of primary importance to the UK MET Office, one of three centres world-wide providing round-the-clock space weather predictions. This project, in collaboration with the UK MET Office, will develop state-of-the-art plasma simulations to forecast extreme Space Weather and develop advanced statistical techniques to quantify the uncertainties in their prediction.

极端空间天气是由太阳的大规模喷发驱动的，称为日冕物质抛射。当它们到达地球时，会产生令人惊叹的极光，但也会危及卫星和宇航员，并破坏通信和电网。预测这些事件对英国气象局至关重要，该局是全世界提供全天候空间气象预测的三个中心之一。该项目将与英国气象局合作，开发最先进的等离子体模拟，以预测极端空间天气，并开发先进的统计技术，以量化其预测中的不确定性。
