Southwest Research Institute and NSF's National Center for Atmospheric Research have created a new tool that forecasts space weather weeks in advance. The tool, PINNBARDS, integrates solar active region observations with a physical model and machine learning, aiming to mitigate impacts on GPS, power grids, and astronaut safety. It utilizes data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory to reconstruct subsurface magnetic dynamics, providing critical conditions for predicting solar eruptions.
