AGU Press Conference: NASA-NSF Scientists Discover Space Weather "Cold Fronts"
12.05.05
 
Introduction

Large, global-scale disturbances that form in the Earth’s upper atmosphere during space storms and disrupt the signals we use to communicate and navigate are the result of the equivalent of "cold fronts" moving through the planet's magnetic field. The findings from research teams supported by NASA and the National Science Foundation (NSF) will be presented at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco, Calif.
