Introduction:
The Solar Wind Scoreboard action team aims to create an open platform for community-driven ensemble solar wind predictions at L1. The scoreboard will enable real-time comparisons between in-situ L1 measurements and advanced solar wind model solutions. Both NASA’s CCMC-hosted models and externally run models are welcome. By collaborating closely with ISWAT and CCMC scoreboard teams, we will leverage existing information infrastructure, including metadata standards, automated forecast submissions, and standardized metrics. We encourage participation from the space weather and space science community.
Objectives:
Our objective is to create an open platform for ensemble solar wind predictions at L1, enabling the identification of emerging models with potential for improved space weather prediction. This scoreboard will provide the community with valuable insights into the capabilities of current models and the promise of new developments. In collaboration with the space weather and space science community through the COSPAR ISWAT initiative, we will design the scoreboard frontend to meet user needs. This action team offers a collaborative space for community ensemble prediction, fostering open science and collaboration for improved solar wind prediction at Earth.
Action Topics:
Global modeling of interplanetary magnetic field and solar wind "evolution" in both the inner and outer heliosphere, Assessment of modeling capabilities of ambient heliosphere, Forecasting the arrival and impact of HSSs/SIRs/CIRs at/near Earth and prospects for other locations in the heliosphere (linked to H4)
Cluster with overlapping topics:
S2: Ambient solar magnetic field, heating and spectral irradiance, S3: Solar eruptions, H1: Heliospheric magnetic field and solar wind, H2: CME structure, evolution and propagation through heliosphere, G1: Geomagnetic environment
