SPINLab - Home

The Space-Planetary Interactions monitoring and forecasting Laboratory (SPINLab) is dedicated to Space Weather. Space Weather describes the variations in solar activity that by interacting with Earth affect the performance of technological systems with an impact on economical activities and the life of populations.

SPINLab has access to 150 years of continuous observations of the geomagnetic field and the Sun acquired by University of Coimbra, counting also on the expertise in this field of Centro de Investigação da Terra e do Espaço da Universidade de Coimbra's (CITEUC) researchers.

This web portal makes available the most recent data that allow to follow the Space Weather conditions.
