Northern Lights Forecast 2025 | How to Predict Aurora Activity Using Science

Описание: How to forecast the Northern Lights: This video explains the science and operational methodology behind predicting Aurora Borealis activity using real space-weather data. You will learn how solar wind, geomagnetic storms, and Earth’s magnetosphere interact to produce auroras, and how scientists forecast their intensity and visibility.

The video covers key aurora forecasting tools such as the Planetary K-index (Kp), real-time satellite measurements from the L1 point, and solar activity trends during the current Solar Cycle 25. It also explains the atmospheric physics behind different auroral colours and the technological risks associated with geomagnetic storms.

This guide is useful for students, researchers, and enthusiasts interested in space weather, aurora prediction, and operational forecasting techniques.
