| Solar activity drives a set of events and processes in interplanetary space known as space weather. Space weather events are responsible for the aurora, but also have adverse effects such as disrupting satellites. The Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences (AOSS) at the University of Michigan is very involved in data analysis, modeling, and predicting space weather. Come join Gregory Bee, an EMU physics major, as he shares his experiences as a summer researcher at the Department of AOSS. Many space-science topics will be covered, such as solar wind, the geomagnetic field, solar storms, sub-storms, and the relationship between the aurora and magnetic fields.
