Abstract:
Solar flares and solar proton events are some of the space weather events that have an impact on HF communications, navigation and can contribute in enhancing the radiation exposure at aviation altitude. Space weather refers to conditions on the Sun, in the solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere that can influence the performance and reliability of space borne and ground-based technological systems. During adverse space weather conditions, communications and navigations can be interrupted and this is become problematic since the space-based position and navigation enables position determination for all phases of flight from departure, en-route and arrival. The impact of solar flares and the solar energetic particles on the aviation sector is investigated. - Abstract as displayed in the - Abstract booklet.
