Space Weather Monitoring; Benefits and Needs of the e-­‐‑Callisto Network.

<p>Extreme space-weather events are natural phenomena caused by solar activity that can have a serious impact on modern technological infrastructures. Monitoring near real time the solar activity is crucial to predict the arrival time of such events on Earth.</p> <p>The e-Callisto network, initiated through IHY2007 and ISWI, is a worldwide-distributed set of radio spectrometers designed to monitor solar radio emission in the metre and decametre bands. Here we describe the network characteristics and we present the important contribution of the e-Callisto network as a 24-hour monitor of the solar eruptive activity.</p
