The National Institute for Space Research (INPE), through the EMBRACE program (Brazilian Study and Monitoring of Space Weather), carries out continuous monitoring of the space environment with a focus on the Sun–Earth relationship. This system tracks phenomena that affect the magnetosphere, the ionosphere, the upper atmosphere, and geomagnetically induced currents on the ground, with the… Continue lendo Embrace Workshop with Users 2026

4th International Workshop on Equatorial Plasma Bubbles
One of the most relevant impacts of Space Weather on our daily lives is the degradation of satellite navigation signals—such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou—caused by large-scale ionospheric irregularities known as Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPBs). EPBs correspond to regions where the plasma density (ions and free electrons) is drastically reduced compared to the surrounding… Continue lendo 4th International Workshop on Equatorial Plasma Bubbles
Intense solar activity
Intense solar activity has been observed in recent days, highlighting the presence of a large coronal hole, covering more than 20% of the Sun’s surface, capable of significantly accelerating the solar wind. During the same period, two M-class solar flares and one X-class flare were recorded, causing an abrupt increase in electromagnetic radiation emitted at… Continue lendo Intense solar activity
EMBRACE DETECTS IONOSPHERIC DISTURBANCE OVER THE SOUTH AMERICA DUE TO THE VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN THE TONGA ARCHIPELAGO
The underwater volcanic eruption that occurred in the Tonga archipelago (175.4° W; 20.6° S) on January 15, 2022, at 4:15 UT (17:15 LT) generated an enormous amount of energy yielding to the injection of a large amount of matter to the upper atmosphere and have generated Tsunami as shown in Figure 1. In the South… Continue lendo EMBRACE DETECTS IONOSPHERIC DISTURBANCE OVER THE SOUTH AMERICA DUE TO THE VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN THE TONGA ARCHIPELAGO
