Description

Due to the corona-crises, we cancelled this event.


This course is intended as an entry course on Space Weather. It provides an elementary overview over the relevant aspects of space weather without invoking complicated background physics. The course is required for meteorologists and space staff that have high school knowledge of physics and will be providing Space Weather information to military and civilian end users.
