WSA-Enlil Solar Wind Prediction

WSA-Enlil Solar Wind Prediction


The WSA-Enlil Solar Wind Prediction is a large-scale, physics-based prediction model of the heliosphere, used by the Space Weather Forecast Office to provide 1-4 day advance warning of solar wind structures and Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) that cause geomagnetic storms. Solar disturbances have long been known to disrupt communications, wreak havoc with Geomagnetic Systems, and to pose dangers for satellite operations. The WSA-Enlil archive is available through the National Centers for Environmental Information.
