SOLMAG: an operational system for prediction of solar and geomagnetic indices.
Abstract
The European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) requires predictions of solar and geomagnetic activity levels on time-scales ranging from days to years. Two methods have been developed for forecasting solar and geomagnetic activity: In the first method medium to long-term (months to years) predictions are made by a software package called SOLMAG; in the second method short to medium term (up to 27 days) predictions are made by a software package called PDFLAP. This paper gives examples of both types of prediction.
