Project description
The sky’s the limit for new flare forecasting capabilities
The Sun is an enigmatic star that produces some of the most powerful explosive events in our solar system, including solar flares. Even though it is very far from Earth, activity on the Sun’s surface creates a type of weather called space weather, which affects our planet. Studying solar flares can lead to a deeper understanding of fundamental processes on the Sun and allow us to better forecast space weather. In this context, the EU-funded ARCAFF project will develop a new forecasting system using end-to-end deep learning models to improve traditional flare forecasting capabilities. It will increase the accuracy and timeliness of current operational flare forecast products and create new time series flare forecasts.
