Detecting and Monitoring Plasma Clouds: Protecting Communication Systems and Satellites

The video discusses the impact of solar activity on communication systems, highlighting the potential disruptions caused by plasma clouds. A research team from Birmingham University is collaborating with the US Air Force to develop instruments for detecting these clouds. Their technology will be used in the Coriolis space mission to provide early warnings of coronal mass ejections, potentially up to three days in advance.
