• The CoDiT (Coronal Dimming Tracker) tool identifies the first signs of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) hours before they cause major GPS navigation disturbances.

• Publications: 

Krista et al., 2013, 2017, 2022.

• The CHARM (Coronal Hole Automated Recognition and Monitoring) tool identifies solar coronal holes and provides forecasts for long-duration geomagnetic storms days before they cause prolonged atmospheric drag - a major contributor to satellite orbital decay and altitude loss.
