Team title: Ionospheric Scoreboard Development
Team ID: G2B-09
Team Leads:
Katherine Garcia-Sage (NASA/GSFC, USA), katherine.garcia-sage@nasa.gov
Keywords (impact): Navigation and/or Communications
Keywords (activity type): Requirements , Modeling, Forecasting, Assessment
Introduction:
Scoreboards provide a pathway from past event ionospheric analysis to ionospheric forecasts, by identifying and documenting needs for driver improvements and obstacles to forecasting.
Objectives:
We will run ionospheric models in past event, nowcast, and forecast mode and assess model performance compared to ground truth data, such as from ionosondes.
Expected output includes:
- identification of potential scoreboard parameter
- processed data for model comparisons
- sample scoreboard for a single event
-
Action Topics:
- Understand and forecast the global state of the ionosphere,
- Improve the ionospheric forecasting window through the definition and forecast of ionospheric drivers in the sun, the solar wind, the magnetosphere and the lower atmosphere,
- Assessment of modeling capability of local TEC on different spatial and temporal scales
Cluster with overlapping topics:
G1: Geomagnetic environment, G2A: Atmosphere variability
