- Additional information
- Solar flares are rare natural disasters and their prediction is important for space, power, aviation and communication industries. This highly-cited work, initiated by NASA in Boulder (CO), is significant because it involved the major international space weather research groups, including Bradford, to compare their prediction systems and establish new global standards in metrics-based evaluation and datasets formation. ASAP (Automated Solar Activity Prediction) system, developed at Bradford University, played major part in this global systematic comparison. This work received considerable media coverage and was presented at several keynote speeches, including Royal Statistical Society (London 2017), ICSPIS 2018 (Dubai), etc.
