spaceweb@oulu.fi - last update: 20 November 1998, 1440 UT (RR) . The 'space weather' have been coined to point out that many of the phenomena studied in space physics have also important practical consequences (e.g., Davenport, 1996). In addition to the geomagnetic activity , also changes in the atmosphere , or even comets and man-made debris in space, can be of importance. ... The other serious consequence of bad space weather is the possibility of damage to Earth orbiting satellites. ...
