AbstractThe near-Earth (Geospace) environment is mostly controlled by the geomagnetic field that protects life on the planet from natural phenomena of electromagnetic nature, such as major geomagnetic storms caused by solar flares and coronal mass ejections. It is increasingly clear that the Geospace environment’s physics and dynamics are crucial for the functioning of the planet within the solar system, and understanding the Sun’s influence on technological systems deployed on the ground and in space b
