Space Weather: Capturing Events and Their Geoeffectiveness

PI建议开发一种概念，以提高观测空间气象对磁层-电离层系统影响的可能性，并解决与空间气象现象有关的基本物理过程。 为此，将把敏感的地面设备的操作集中在有潜在破坏性的空间气象条件下进行。 通过结合航天器观测分析这些观测结果，SRI可以更好地了解太阳风与磁层之间以及磁层与电离层之间的耦合（通常称为空间天气“地球效应”）。 因此，该提案的总体目标是通过实施该方案的操作阶段和基础研究阶段来观察和分析空间气象的地球有效性。 该方案的运行阶段旨在提供一个空间气象警报系统，向观测者通报活动期间的太阳和空间状况，以便能够制定适当的地面作业规划。 在过去的NSWP资助下，为非相干散射雷达界制定和实施了这样一个警报协议。 该计划的基础研究阶段旨在通过分析亚暴，风暴和对流湾形式的数据来研究空间天气事件的地球效应。由于获得的数据集将有利于所有这些主题，预计其结果将有助于目前和未来的一些空间气象研究方案。

ATM-0001653The PI proposes to develop a concept that will improve the possibility of observing the impact of space weather on the magnetosphere-ionosphere system, and that will address fundamental physical processes related to space weather phenomena. This will be done by focusing operations of sensitive ground based equipment to occur during potentially disruptive space weather conditions. By analyzing these observations in conjunction with spacecraft observations, SRI can develop an improved understanding of the coupling between the solar wind and magnetosphere and between the magnetosphere and ionosphere (generally termed space weather "geoeffectiveness"). Thus, the overall objective of the proposal is to observe and analyze space weather geoeffectiveness by implementing an operational phase and a basic research phase to the program. The operational phase of the program is designed to provide a space weather alert system that notifies observers of solar and space conditions during times of activity so that appropriate planning of ground-based operations can be established. The development and implementation of such an alert protocol for the incoherent-scatter radar community was established under past NSWP funding. The basic research phase of the program is designed to study the geoeffectiveness of the space weather event by analyzing data in the form of substorms, storms, and convection bays. As the acquired data sets will benefit all of these topics, it is anticipated that the results will contribute to a number of space weather research programs, present and future.
