The Space Weather Prediction Center is one of the nine National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and provides real-time monitoring and forecasting of solar and geophysical events, conducts research in solar-terrestrial physics (i.e. heliophysics), and develops techniques for forecasting solar and geophysical disturbances.
Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) is a project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment and as such is aimed detecting important changes in the Earth's radiation field at the Earth's surface which may be related to climate changes.
Acidification of lakes and forests in North America and Europe due to acid rain; Global warming caused by build-up of greenhouse gases. Indeed, it was the World Meteorological Organization's readings and observations that figured prominently at this conference. They had little good news to offer.

Global Map of Global Horizontal Radiation [5] Global Map of Direct Normal Radiation [5]. There are several measured types of solar irradiance. Total solar irradiance (TSI) is a measure of the solar power over all wavelengths per unit area incident on the Earth's upper atmosphere.
Researchers have released initial measurements of radiation levels experienced inside NASA's Orion spacecraft during its 25-day uncrewed Artemis I mission in 2022 around the moon and back to Earth.
The exposure of a human body to ionizing radiation has the same harmful effects whether the source of the radiation is a medical X-ray machine, a nuclear power plant, or radiation in space. The degree of the harmful effect depends on the length of exposure and the radiation's energy density .
