MOSCOW, July 23 Eruptions of dark plasma, also called «cold» solar flares, have a 60 percent chance of causing radio blackouts on Earth this week, the Daily Mail reported, citing data from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
«The flare could disrupt radio, aviation and satellite communications if it occurs by at least Friday,» the publication writes.
According to NOAA data cited in the publication, the probability of radio communication outages on Earth due to flares is 60 percent.
So-called «cold» solar flares with lower temperatures than «warm» ones have become the subject of serious study by astrophysicists only in the last decade. As it turns out, they emit microwave radiation at least as much as «warm» solar flares, and also produce higher peak frequencies of gyrosynchrotron radiation, the exact form of radiation responsible for the flare's intense and destructive radio emission.
