Aw 15

The document discusses space weather and its effects. It describes the sun as the prime source of space weather and how solar activity like sunspots, solar wind, and solar eruptions can cause space weather events. It then explains how these events like geomagnetic storms can impact aircraft operations through effects on communications, navigation, radiation exposure, and avionics.
