SPACE WEATHER IN SOLAR SYSTEM
Forcast Models This project is being developed under the umbrella of the International Space Environment Service (ISES) and the International Heliophysical Year (IHY) in order to provide information on current, past and future (forecasted) space weather conditions in the Solar system, useful for current and planned space missions and to provide boundary conditions for more detailed models and case studies.

Space Weather parameters can be obtained via:

  1. Numerical models of the ambient solar wind-magnetospheres interaction, with time-dependent locations of the planetary magnetospheres, their sizes and average characteristics of the inner/outer zones in normal solar wind conditions;
  2. An ensemble of the numerical models for the real-time and predictions of the propagation of solar disturbance and its interaction with planetary magnetospheres;
  3. Data available from different space missions at the time and locations. Predefined by the satellite lifetime/orbit.

A set of interactive displays is planned that would enable any user to enter the interested coordinates/time and to get the relevant magnetic field and plasma characteristics.

The set of models and displays will provide forecasts of the propagation of the solar disturbances through solar wind and their effects on the planetary magnetospheres.
