Will announce widely when there are magnetic storms

That is the judgment of experts from the Institute of Geophysics, but the magnetic storm with strong intensity is less likely to happen.

Talking to us, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ha Duyen Chau, deputy director of the Institute of Geophysics, said 2007 was the year when the 24th cycle of the Sun began (each cycle was about 10-11 years), so it should be strengthened. The level of storms from this year in Vietnam is only from 100-200nT (nano Tesla), much lower than the intensity of the storms from 2001-2003 (500-600nT), so it must be called here " wind words "rather than" word storm .

According to Chau, the magnetic storm is a phenomenon of spherical explosion inside the Sun that shoots out the universe of plasma beams, acting on the Earth's magnetic field causing radio communication disturbances, creating an induced current as a photo enjoy transmission lines of 500kV (reducing transmission capacity) and oil pipelines (worn, even causing breakage of pipes).

Magnetic storms also affect human health, especially those with cardiovascular and neurological diseases (causing fatigue, restlessness, discomfort), because inside the heart, the human brain also has magnetic cells. However, since this year the storm was only very weak, Mr. Chau said they were not as harmful as the storms from a few years ago.

If the cycle is correct, until 2010 there will be strong storms with strong intensity. However, when there is a magnetic storm, the authorities will announce it widely to everyone. For people with cardiovascular and neurological diseases, their health status should be monitored carefully. Should see a doctor as soon as there are abnormal signs.
