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.

极端空间天气是由被称为日冕物质抛射的太阳大规模喷发驱动的。到达地球后，它们会产生令人惊叹的极光显示，但也会危及卫星和宇航员，并扰乱通信和电网。对英国气象局来说，预报这些天气是最重要的，英国气象局是全球三个全天候提供太空天气预报的中心之一。该项目与英国气象局合作，将开发最先进的等离子体模拟来预测极端空间天气，并开发先进的统计技术来量化预测中的不确定性。
