A means of communicating to the general public the current and future space weather conditions and their possible effects on people and systems. The scales were developed for three event types: [[geomagnetic storm|geomagnetic storms]] ([[G-scale]]), solar radiation storms ([[S-scale]]), and [[radio blackout|radio blackouts]] ([[R-scale]]). They are attributed a number from 1 to 5 based on severity: 1 = minor, 2 = moderate, 3 = strong, 4 = severe, and 5 = extreme. | |||
