Space Weather特刊征稿：空间天气事件对交通系统的影响
空间天气事件，如太阳风暴、地磁暴和高能粒子辐射，对地球上的交通系统构成了多方面的挑战。这些事件能够影响从航空、航海到地面交通的各类系统和设备，导致通讯中断、导航误差和设备故障，进而对交通安全和效率产生严重影响。例如，强烈的太阳风暴可以干扰全球定位系统的信号，影响飞机和船舶的导航；地磁暴可能会引起地面电力系统的波动，导致铁路信号系统失灵；高能粒子辐射则会对高空飞行的航空器造成潜在的辐射危害。这些影响不仅对日常交通运营构成威胁，更在极端情况下可能导致重大安全事故和经济损失。
为了进一步了解这些影响，并推动应对措施的发展，Space Weather期刊特此征集关于“空间天气事件对交通系统的影响”的学术论文。我们希望通过本次征文，汇集全球专家和学者的智慧，深化对空间天气与交通系统相互作用的认识，探索更有效的预测和防护手段，确保交通系统的稳定和安全。

Impact of Space Weather Events on Transportation System
Solar activity-driven space weather has the potential to disturb vital communication and navigation systems essential for aviation, maritime, and land-based transportation. The consequences encompass a range of issues, such as interference with GNSS signals, disruption of satellite communication, instability in power grids impacting transportation infrastructure, induced currents causing harm to pipeline and railways, and even exposing aircraft and satellite operations to radiation. Consequently, the ramifications of space weather extend to substantial economic impacts on transportation systems.
The disturbances in communication, navigation, and power infrastructure can precipitate flight cancellations, delays, and route diversions, leading to financial setbacks for both airlines and passengers. Maritime operations and shipping timetables may encounter disruptions, resulting in heightened expenses. The impairment of power grids and critical infrastructure can trigger prolonged periods of inactivity, affecting multiple modes of transportation and generating economic losses due to reduced productivity and escalated maintenance costs. Strategies to mitigate these challenges include implementing advanced warning systems, refining communication protocols, installing backup navigation mechanisms, and enhancing protective measures for critical infrastructure.
The year 2025 is particularly relevant due to anticipated solar
activity and the growing integration of technology into transportation
operations. This special issue aims to gather cutting-edge research on
the forecasted impact of space weather on transportation systems, the
development of resilient technologies, and strategies to mitigate
potential disruptions.
