'Space tsunamis' ride Earth's magnetic shield — and tracking them could sharpen storm warnings

High above us, waves form along the edge of Earth's magnetic shield where the solar wind presses in, shifting position with the wind's direction.

It is invisible weather, made a little more predictable.
