  • Effects of space weather on communications
    • Outage causes
      • Solar flare - a flare occurring in the NOAA R scale red zone with an outage on the dayside
      • Geomagnetic storm - the ap in the red zone with an outage at mid and high latitudes
    • Outage duration
      • Large solar flares - may last up to 4-5 hours
      • Large geomagnetic storms - may last up to a few days
