Recent studies have revealed that solar storms can cause locally generated currents in the ocean and atmosphere that can be larger than those caused by tsunamis or earthquakes. To better understand these currents, scientists have developed an instrument to measure them in real time. This new instrument is designed to measure the size and direction of the currents created by solar storms, and to provide essential information for predicting the potential impacts of these events. This new technology could help us better prepare for and protect against the damaging effects of solar storms.
