Description
The number of energetic particle detectors and monitors in space has steadily increased in recent years, covering both Earth’s magnetosphere and the inner heliosphere. This trend is expected to continue with upcoming missions. This session will explore how the growing wealth of current and future data can enhance the provision of reliable space weather products. Topics include monitoring the present radiation environment (nowcasting), forecasting near-future conditions, post-event analysis of observed effects, and improving radiation environment models for short-and long-term conditions. The primary goal is to identify development needs in data processing, cross-calibration, infrastructure, and model and product advancements to fully leverage these datasets and guide future development activities. Potential critical data gaps in time, location, energy, and particle species will also be addressed.
This session builds on discussions from the 2022 Network Workshop. It will begin with an overview of ongoing and planned missions from ESA and other agencies, followed by a summary of key points from the previous workshop. While the main objective is an in-depth discussion of the topics outlined above, short contributions in the form of presentations are welcome.
