Abstract
In this chapter we discuss several methods for forecasting solar activity on different time scales. The solar radiation and particle emission influences on the space around Earth, the Earth’s magnetosphere, the Earth’s atmosphere, and can be harmful for satellites and manned spacecraft missions and disrupt communication systems. In extreme cases even power lines on the Earth’s surface are perturbed or can become disrupted.
