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…
Modeling observations of solar coronal mass ejections with heliospheric imagers verified with the Heliophysics System Observatory
Rodriguez, L.; Zhang, T. L.; Möstl, C. +19 more
We present an advance toward accurately predicting the arrivals of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) at the terrestrial planets, including Earth. For the first time, we are able to assess a CME prediction model using data over two thirds of a solar cycle of observations with the Heliophysics System Observatory. We validate modeling results of 1337 CME…
Inner heliosphere MHD modeling system applicable to space weather forecasting for the other planets
Futaana, Y.; Kataoka, R.; Shiota, D. +5 more
We developed a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) solar wind model which can be used for practical use in real-time space weather forecasting at Earth's orbit and those of other planets. The MHD simulation covering 3 years (2007-2009) was performed to test the accuracy, and the numerical results show reasonable agreement with in situ measurements of the so…
