What Does SSC Stand For?

SSC stands for Sudden Storm Commencement Magnetic Storm

SSC, or Sudden Storm Commencement, refers to the initial onset of a magnetic storm characterized by a rapid increase in geomagnetic activity. This phenomenon is typically triggered by solar events, such as coronal mass ejections or high-speed solar wind streams, leading to disturbances in the Earth's magnetosphere. SSCs are significant for their potential impact on satellite operations, communication systems, and power grids, making their monitoring essential for predictive space weather analysis.
