Operational activities, infrastructure, data, and models (OAIDM)

Presentation

This working group (WG) is dedicated to reviewing, proposing, and harmonizing operational activities, infrastructure, data, and models in Space Weather and Space Climate (SW&SC).

Goals

  • Infrastructure:
    • Identify the specific needs in terms of infrastructure/instrumentation in this context and determine which of them is under-funded; 
    • Support for ground-based facilities for SW&SC research and forecasting is often lacking;
    • Identify available budgets and funding sources;
  • Data:
    • Establish an open data policy and provide recommendations on data format;
    • Provide guidance on how to validate data products;
    • Promote for instrument operation and long-term data storage;
    • Identify what has already been done to manage easily large amounts of data in different fields;

  • Modelling: 

    • Identify models capable of providing space weather hindcast, forecast and nowcast;
    • Support the validation of the models and identification of their capabilities and limitations;
    • Assist in the blending of data and models through data assimilation and validate the results by comparing them to standalone codes;
  • Assess and enhance international collaborations
