Topical Discussion Meetings & Splinter Meetings

2022

The prototype SafeSpace Space Weather Service 

Topical Discussion Meeting (t13), ESWW 2022, Zagreb, Croatia

Ioannis Daglis (Univ. of Athens), Sebastien Bourdarie (ONERA), Christos Katsavrias (Univ. of Athens), Afroditi Nasi (Univ. of Athens)

We present the SafeSpace space weather service and request comments and feedback from the end-users and all interested colleagues. The service has been developed in the framework of the EU H2020 funded SafeSpace project over the past 3 years by a consortium of eight European partners. It includes the whole space weather chain from the Sun through the interplanetary space and into the inner magnetosphere and provides indicators of high-energy electron radiation.

The service is already available on-line. It features indicators of the forecasted level of high-energy electron fluxes in comparison with long-time historical data, i.e. the probability of occurrence of medium-high fluxes and of extremely high fluxes. These indicators are provided for three distinct orbit types, namely for GEO (geosynchronous), LEO (Low Earth Orbit) and GNSS-MEO (Medium Earth Orbit of Global Navigation Satellite Systems).

Advancing our forecasting capabilities for electron enhancements in the outer Van Allen belt

Splinter Meeting (SPM10), EGU 2022, Vienna, Austria

Ioannis Daglis (University of Athens)

This meeting aims at presenting and discussing the progress of our efforts to achieve more accurate predictions of electron enhancements in the outer Van Allen belt, pursued in the framework of the EU H2020 SafeSpace project.

2021

Improving our Sun-to-Belts nowcasting and forecasting capabilities

Topical Discussion Meeting (t06), ESWW 2021, Glasgow, UK

Ioannis A. Daglis (Department of Physics, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens), Stefaan Poedts (Department of Mathematics, KU Leuven), Yuri Sphrits (GFZ-Potsdam), Afroditi Nasi (Department of Physics, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens)

There is a recognized need for accurate nowcasting and forecasting of the Van Allen radiation belts, as they are a space hazard posing significant risks for spacecraft. The three space weather projects selected for funding in 2019 by the European Commission (EUHFORIA 2.0, PAGER and SafeSpace) deal with all aspects of solar disturbance identification, the propagation of the resulting interplanetary disturbances to geospace and with the effects of these disturbances on the Van Allen belts, but also on other parts of geospace. The presentations on the concept, objectives, achievements and challenges of three EC projects, focusing on different aspects of the Sun-to-Belts chain,will be followed by active interaction with the participants.
