What is ISO/TR 23989 about?
ISO/TR 23989 provides guidelines for specifying the qualitative estimation of the solar wind energy input into the magnetosphere with the use of operative ground-based information on the polar cap magnetic activity (PC index).
ISO/TR 23989 is designed for on-line monitoring of the magnetosphere and forecasting the strength and extent of magnetic disturbances, as well as high-latitude ionosphere data. The method and accuracy of estimation are ensured by the close association between the PC index and the interplanetary electric field on the one hand, and the PC index and magnetospheric disturbances, on the other.
Who is ISO/TR 23989 for?
ISO/TR 23989 on solar wind energy disturbances is relevant to:
- Space research organizations
- Satellite communication and broadcasting
- Telecommunication
- Power and electronic systems
- Spacecraft manufacturers
- Engineering and scientific research organizations
Why should you use ISO/TR 23989?
To protect astronauts traveling into space as well as human life on Earth from the harmful radiation emitted by solar wind energy entering the earth's magnetosphere, qualitative estimation of the solar wind energy input into the magnetosphere is important.
The guidelines provided by ISO/TR 23989 provides a method that helps real-time monitoring of the magnetosphere and forecasting the strength and extent of magnetic disturbances, as well as high-latitude ionosphere data.
ISO/TR 23989 specifies PC index method that can be used to monitor the condition of the magnetosphere and high-latitude ionosphere in order to tackle problems such as navigation, radio-connection, and induced currents that are common in high-latitude regions during magnetospheric disturbances.
Incoming solar wind energy can damage satellites, cause telecommunication problems, power and electronic system outages as well as affects atmospheric processes and human health. qualitative estimation of the solar wind energy guidelines in ISO/TR 23989 can assist you in preventing these difficulties from happening during solar wind energy disturbances in the magnetosphere.
