Space Weather Impacts | NOAA / NWS Space Weather Prediction …
WEBCoronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) can cause Geomagnetic Storms at Earth and induce extra currents in the ground that can degrade power grid operations. Geomagnetic storms can also modify the signal from radio navigation systems (GPS and GNSS) causing degraded accuracy.
Types of Space Weather Storms
WEBGeomagnetic storms usually last a few hours to days. The strongest storms may persist for up to a week. A string of CMEs may cause prolonged disturbed periods related to the additional energy being pumped into Earth's magnetic field.
