Space Weather and Applications NESSC 14 June 2006 Boston University
Goals What areas need to be developed? How can we advance the specification and prediction of the space environment?
Who needs what? How do we measure/predict it? Lead Time Frequency Power utilities Military (Radar, Communications) Rare (High Impact?) Flares, CMEs, SEPs Often (Low Impact?) CIRs, GCRs Minutes HoursDaysMonths Solar cycle Space travel Space travel L1 Sentinels Remote Sensing Near Earth Ground Where do we Model? Forecast? Nowcast?
What do we measure? What physics do we need to understand? Photosphere Helioseismology Military (Radar, Communications) Convection Zone Earth, Moon, Mars CoronaInner Heliosphere Spectroscopy X-ray, uv Coronographs Radio Coronographs Radio In-situ
