TIMED/GUVI and DMSP/SSUSI - Data Products for Space Weather

A wide variety of data products are produced from both TIMED/GUVI and DMSP/SSUSI. These data products are available for operational use for many space weather applications. These products present a unique opportunity for users to assess the impacts from various drivers on the ITM region and the atmospheric response to these impacts from solar maximum to solar minimum. The GUVI and SSUSI data pool contains both the remote-sensing measurements and the derived environmental parameters. In addition to the spectrograph and imagery data, the GUVI and SSUSI data product suite consists of aurora data products, thermospheric ratio of O and N2, electron density profiles and neutral density profiles. The rich collection of these data products greatly extends our capacity to understand the complex interactions and exchanges in the upper atmosphere especially during solar and geomagnetic disturbances. It provides an excellent tool for space weather operations and investigations. We will present both the GUVI and SSUSI data products, and illustrate their parameters in detail. We will further discuss their operational use in space weather applications, the current development, improvements, and the future development of new products.
