Summary: IPS Forecasting: • Forecasts with the IPS data (this has worked with STELab data for about 13 years). • Forecasts in real-time work better now with the inclusion of in-situ data (available since spring, 2011). These new innovations and the inclusion of other world IPS data sets make the technique a good way to forecast velocities and densities, and provide updates of modeling analyses on the way from Sun to Earth. • We are now beginning to combine these analyses with 3D-MHD results. One of the ideas is to update MHD results more directly by providing interim solutions iterated like the IPS time-dependent tomography.
