  1. Radio-communication service for limited-area purposes in RWC Warsaw RWC Warsaw is operating in the International Space Environments Service. It conducts heliogeophysical forecasting for the government and local commercial communications, geodetic and geological services. One of the main line of its activity is radio-communication prediction and forecast for national professionals and amateurs. Paper presents the review of the physical basis of developed algorithms and methods for radio-communication assessments. Stress is putting to the impact of different space weather phenomena, their understanding and necessary mitigation techniques applied. The technical description of the elaborated systems is demonstrated. Z. Kłos, I. Stanisławska, G. JuchnikowskiSpace Research Centre PASBartycka 18a str, Warsaw, Poland

  2. Space Research Centre maintains a team in charge of actual heliogeophysical data acquisition and forecasting. The team has been working within the ISES organization (International Space Environment Service). It conducts heliogeophysical forecasting for the government and commercial communications, geodetic and geological services. Various versions of predictions and forecasts are available to interested communications professionals and radio hamsfrom a WWW site of the service http://www.cbk.waw.pl/rwc/rwc.html and from anonymous FTP site ftp://www.cbk.waw.pl/pub/ftp/rwc/idce/ This work is carried out with the use of software packages HELGEO and Ray-Route developed at SRC. The HELGEO is an automatic system of solar-geophysical data processing for analysis and forecast of solar-geophysical and the Ray-Route is a system of forecasting of HF communications conditions, including signal to noise ratio at recommended frequencies. It organizes proper data base for operational data-driven models and runs the subroutines based on such models creating at the end set of messages and files addressed to different users requirements. This presentation puts the stress to methods and algorithms developed within last few years in the area directly linked to the radio-communication and to the related domains which their issues lead to the improvement of this.

  3. Domain - solar activity Goal - CME forecasting Tool: Direct information from ISES and from Cracow Observatory (real-time solar radio flux at 10 frequencies) allows to forecast the potential coronal mass ejections (CMEs) appearance basing on the constructing U-type radio burst from single frequency radiospectrometr. Direct observations of CMEs do not provide the real latitude of their origin, what is the crucial point of the geoeffectivness of this event. That is why research work in this topic has been undertaken (Skirgiello, 2003). It has been shown on the base of SOHO LASCO observations how the projection effects can be eliminated from CME latitude distribution. The proposed method is based on the assumption that events move radially, their longitudinal distribution is uniform, and they are all detected. The distributions of real latitudes have cut off at about 20o in minimum solar activity and about 50oin rise phase. The events observed at higher latitudes proved to be only apparent projections of events really originated at lower latitudes. The relevant procedure for application in the HELGEO system is under development. The application of the inverse projection method to SOHO LASCO data. Top panel – the distributions of apparent latitudes, bottom – the distribution after elimination of projection effects. M.

  10. Domain – radio-communication Goal – propagation conditions forecasting Tool: The model is based on the ITU-R algorithms updated by means of 3D instantaneous mapping model. Broadcasting field - map of S/N (signal to noise ratio) for a given transmitting station and a given moment of time. The picture illustrates in a comprehensive way localization of the regions of good or poor reception of the signal. Such plots are good illustration of the fact that quality of reception is not a simple function of distance transmitter-receiver.There are regions more distant but with better reception quality. This is off course a consequence of the nature of HF propagation. In use there are also similar pictures - sensing fields. They differ from broadcasting fields in the fixed position of the receiver and a field of transmitters is considered. It may be surprising that the two plots usually differ - guess why.
