Coronal magnetic fields in 3D
A team of researchers has produced the first global, three-dimensional estimates of the Sun’s magnetic field, including the area beyond the Sun’s visible edge. This breakthrough marks an important step towards more accurate models of solar activity — and ultimately, better predictions of solar magnetic eruptions which are the root cause of extreme space weather that can impact critical infrastructure technologies on Earth.

Hot new dataset focuses on human health
Heat stress is a leading cause of weather-related deaths and can be especially dangerous in cities where phenomena like urban heat islands drive temperatures higher than surrounding rural areas. Now a new dataset developed by the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) aims to provide city governments and health officials with information that could minimize heat impacts on residents.
