FLARECAST

FLARECAST is an automated forecasting system for solar flares developed in the framework of a Horizon2020 research project between January 2015 and December 2017. It is part of an international effort in building an encompassing space weather prediction system. In Europe, ESA's Space Weather Service Network, one of the main activities within the Space Situational Awareness Programme SSA, unites forecasting services from several institutions covering different drivers of space weather... Until recently, solar activity wasn't considered a notable threat for our planet. Since the end of the 20 th century, however, we have become more vulnerable due to space-relying technologies our society depends on. Should a very strong solar storm hit the Earth, it may not only cause damage to space-based technology but also to communication systems, transportation networks, pipelines, and power grids on the ground. Reliable space weather predictions are vital for taking mitigation measures in time.....
