Introduction:
The ISWAT SEP Validation team is a continuation of the existing SEP Working Team that was developed under the ICCMC-LWS forum.
Team questions: Where do we stand with SEP prediction? Using case studies of selected events, can we assess where we stand with SEP prediction? How well can the success of SEP models be compared? Is it possible to identify a uniform metric? How do we move beyond using case studies for model/data comparisons?
Recent campaigns: SHINE 2018, 2019, ESWW 2018. (See team website for presentations and reports).
The SEP Scoreboard also falls under this team's projects. This scoreboard collects and displays real-time SEP forecasts (probabilistic, and intensity time series).
Objectives:
Organize community campaigns to evaluate how well different models/techniques can predict historical SEP events throughout the heliosphere
Establish metrics agreed upon by the community
Provide a benchmark against which future models can be assessed against
SEP Scoreboard: Add more models to the scoreboard database/display and to obtain input on the way the data is displayed.
Action topics:
Clusters with overlapping topics: S2
