MUF(3000) nowcasting as operation space weather product
Abstract
Pan-European Consortium for Aviation Space weather User Services (PECASUS) is one of the three global Space Weather Centers for aviation space weather user services designed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
The MUF(3000) nowcasting is one of the operational space weather products inserted in PECASUS. A mapping procedure is applied to the European stations providing MUF(3000) nowcasting over the whole area. This procedure consists in upgrading the IRI-CCIR model using available real-time measurements and the Ordinary Kriging method for spatial interpolation. Comparing modeled MUF(3000) values to those derived from ionosonde measurements, the outputs have been analysed during geomagnetic storm periods in order to assess the reliability of the real-time service.- Publication:
