Operational and Exploration Requirements and Research Capabilities for SEP Environment Monitoring and Forecasting
October 16-19, 2024, Georgia State University
October 16-19, 2024, Georgia State University
The primary goals of the “Operational and Exploration Requirements and Research Capabilities for SEP Environment Monitoring and Forecasting” workshop are to highlight research advances in the SEP modeling and forecasting capabilities including, but not limited to, utilization of machine learning, to understand monitoring and forecasting requirements for SEP events from both research and operational perspectives, and to address supporting observational data and preparation needs.
The specific objectives of the workshop are:
Identify the needs and requirements of operational and exploration agencies and other users in terms of quantities related to the energetic particle content for nowcasting and forecasting, and the corresponding timeframes;
Revise current observational data availability and coverage, data preparation, and data categorization efforts, and identify data-related resources in support of the above requirements for research and operations;
Highlight the current modeling and forecasting capabilities of the community and identify models that are potentially tunable for predicting the quantities of interest, as well as emphasize research directions allowing to address such predictions in the future.
