SpaceWeather

This valuable app allows you to visualize multiple domains of space weather in the palm of your hand in near real-time. No other app provides the breadth of real-time information from the world's leading institutions that create space weather products.

What is space weather? It is the dynamical way in which the Sun affects the near-Earth space environment and our technological systems. Disturbances are caused by solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and these impact high frequency (HF) radio communications, GPS navigation accuracy, power line transmissions, cell phones, and satellite orbits. Space weather even creates the aurora. For example, say that a flare occurs and you want to know its effects at Earth right now. This app uniquely extracts data from real-time, operational systems linking the four major space environment domains (Sun, solar wind, magnetosphere, thermosphere/ionosphere). With a tap of the finger you see a detailed chain of energy events including SDO Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) solar images, the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) solar wind calculations, the forecast of the Dst geomagnetic disturbance at Earth, and even the real-time ionospheric total electron content (TEC). You have the most up-to-date visualization of the entire energy transfer from the Sun to the Earth at your fingertips. In addition to real-time data, forecasts and alerts from leading institutions are also provided. You will definitely want this app to see all the action in real-time when violent flares and powerful CMEs affect us during the decline from solar maximum (2013-2016).

This app has been developed as a collaborative educational project between the Utah State University's Space Weather USTAR initiative (www.innovationutah.com) and Space Environment Technologies (www.spacewx.com). The app serves as a platform upon which many diverse organizations collaborate to integ
rate 165 real-time products using an asynchronous, distributed, operational network.

Data comes from participating institutions, including: NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, National Solar Observatory, Solar Dynamics Observatory, Space Environment Technologies, SOHO consortium, STEREO mission, NorthWest Research Associates, NASA Community Coordinated Modeling Center, Rice University, Kyoto University World Data Center, Oulu University, Space Environment Corporation, U.S. Geological Survey, Utah State University Space Weather Center, and Virginia Tech University.

Real-time space weather data includes:
60 solar data sets
16 solar wind data sets
23 magnetosphere data sets
53 atmosphere data sets
13 alerts
