Although solar activity may significantly influence the global environment as well as socio-economic systems, the mechanisms for solar eruptions and the subsequent processes have not yet been fully understood.

The prediction is the only way to mitigate the impact, and also it plays an important role to improve our understanding of solar-terrestrial environment.
