SEC Space Weather Operations (SWO) provides real-time monitoring and forecasting of solar and geophysical events. An ongoing analysis of the sun is important in combining current data, climatological statistics, and relevant research results to formulate predictions of solar and geophysical activity.
The Internet has a wealth of useful data available. The following are image sites with current space weather images that are used by SWO in performing their daily analysis. Many of the links below are non US Government sites, see disclaimer.
