Powerful solar explosions, such as flares and coronal mass ejections, greatly disturb the electromagnetic environment around the Earth and the atmosphere. They may even impact various social systems-communications, positioning, electric power supply, aviation and activities in space. Such variations in the space environment, which can influence human activities, are called "space weather." The space weather disaster caused by a solar explosion is a potential risk in modern society. To reduce and mitigate space weather impacts, it is essential to understand the structure and dynamics of the solar-terrestrial environment and to predict the variations.
