Summary / Future SWL, CCMC, & SWx Desk aim to advance space weather specification and forecasting capabilities… • Implement new 1D time-series database and interactive timeline capabilities in iSWA • Develop a Movie/Animation Mode for All Cygnets • Provide data export options directly from timeline cygnets • More data products: SDO/EVE, far-side imagery • More Alerts: flares, feature identification systems • Continue to: • develop custom/tailored tools based on customer feedback • bring in the most advanced models and data streams http://iSWA.gsfc.nasa.gov
iSWA Impact • NASA • iSWA provides a new capability to quickly assess past, present, and expected space weather effects. • Mission operators have a resource to assist in both anomaly resolution as well as potential space weather impacts. • iSWA has helped enable the Space Weather Laboratory to establish a new Space Weather Desk service providing alerts, anomaly reports, and weekly space weather summaries based on iSWA tools and products. • External Agencies • Air Force Space Weather Agency can monitor the iSWA system 24x7 for CME eruptionsand notifies the CCMC as soon as an event is detected. A notification triggers a CME Cone Model calculation at CCMC that estimates the CME arrival time, duration, and expected impact on earth. • iSWA has enabled numerous collaborations with data, model, and product developers/providers who want their tools to be available in iSWA. • Science, Education, and Public Outreach • Researchers, universities, and “citizen scientists” have access to a comprehensive suite of real-time and historical space environment data products. http://iSWA.gsfc.nasa.gov
