Summary
Commonly occurring space weather events (SWE) have the potential to affect the performance of critical space and ground infrastructure by disrupting operations and communications in multiple sectors of society. Space weather technological research for new precursor services: the worldwide goal of space weather activities should be to monitor and forecast SWE just like terrestrial weather. Research and innovation activities should address application domains that may include space as well as terrestrial infrastructure.
Detailed Call Description
- Proposals should address the development of modelling capabilities and/or the delivery of prototype services able to interpret a broad range of observations of the Sun’s corona and magnetic field, of the Sun-Earth interplanetary space and of the Earth magneto/iono/thermo-sphere coupling relying on existing observation capacities.
- Validate and harmonize the currently available data from existing services and identify gaps in data and model availability.
- Training of models using deep-learning techniques based on existing large aggregated databases from space measurements.
- Inventory of potential early indicators of extreme space weather events.
- On ground demonstration tests.
- Ground instruments: densification of ground instrument networks and development/improvement of new instrument concepts
- Complementary and coherent activities with existing space weather services with a significant involvement of European and national scientific institutions and stakeholders.
