Short-Term Forecast Issues • Start with accurate iono. nowcast from data assimilation • Exploit all global datasets, quantitative accuracy demonstrated • Lots of science can be done with accurate 3D density fields • Estimate improved drivers using 4DVAR • Drivers: production, ExB drift, neutral winds, etc. • Feed improved drivers into Kalman filter • Forecast for 2-6 hours using physics propagator • Continuous Forecast Validation Needed • Unknown drivers or couplings drive iono. physics away from reality • Simplest Benchmark: Must beat persistence • Community should start comparing Skill Scores • Iono. Assim. Complementary to T-I-M Coupled Models • Couplings still incomplete, not quantitatively accurate, enough data? • Use 4DVAR to invert for coupled boundary conditions Space Weather Workshop 2008, Boulder, CO
