Using Solar Orbiter as an Upstream Solar Wind Monitor for Real Time Space Weather Predictions
Möstl, C.; Davies, J. A.; Horbury, T. S. +11 more
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can create significant disruption to human activities and systems on Earth, much of which can be mitigated with prior warning of the upstream solar wind conditions. However, it is currently extremely challenging to accurately predict the arrival time and internal structure of a CME from coronagraph images alone. In th…
Solar Energetic Particle Events Detected in the Housekeeping Data of the European Space Agency's Spacecraft Flotilla in the Solar System
Wimmer-Schweingruber, Robert F.; Wood, Simon; Wilson, Colin +37 more
Despite the growing importance of planetary Space Weather forecasting and radiation protection for science and robotic exploration and the need for accurate Space Weather monitoring and predictions, only a limited number of spacecraft have dedicated instrumentation for this purpose. However, every spacecraft (planetary or astronomical) has hundred…
CMEs and SEPs During November-December 2020: A Challenge for Real-Time Space Weather Forecasting
Maksimovic, Milan; Möstl, Christian; Galvin, Antoinette B. +20 more
Predictions of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar energetic particles (SEPs) are a central issue in space weather forecasting. In recent years, interest in space weather predictions has expanded to include impacts at other planets beyond Earth as well as spacecraft scattered throughout the heliosphere. In this sense, the scope of space weathe…
