6 Impacting the Next Generation
STP Division Overview Impacting the Next Generation “Thank you very much for your resources. My student was so excited to think a scientist went out of his way to care about his project. You have made a very positive impression on him, and for that I am grateful.” Mike Logan Biology Instructor Kingston K-14 School Cadet, Missouri Hello Mr. Denig - I am the student which converted the archived data that you gave Mike Logan into statistical data. I entered the Mineral Area College science fair and specialized in earth science. I explained the data to the space station scientist and gave accurate information on how geomagnetism affects our U.S. Power grid and ways that I personally thought were significant to protect against these storms. In the statistical data I have found that geomagnetism is on the increase and we need to make measures to avoid the effects of the storms. I acknowledged you in the presentation and gave my gratitude. Thank you Mr. Denig, I wouldn't of been able to get first place at the science fair without your help. – Jarod Mercer

20 Space Weather Team Status: GOES-R Status (Details) Detailed Comments1:
MAG H/W Performance (red/yellow): Due to the changes in the design, the MAG is not as mature as the other instruments. This means additional issues are likely to be detected in the coming months. Vendor has not yet assembled the calibration data books which will provide a good deal of insight into the instrument’s performance. H. Singer feels this is more serious than the prior Y/G rating. MAG L1b Algorithm (red/yellow): Program has authorized a prototype of the current version of the vendor's algorithm. If implemented this would repair many of the issues that had already been identified [at which point this status might be Green]. However, the Program is still ardently pursuing substantial performance waivers for the significant degradation of accuracy that would be caused by the "Frozen Baseline" version of the algorithm.  If the L1b product only meets the new specs in the waiver, then the utility of the product for the community suffers a significant [Red?] adverse impact. Specific issue is the error associated with the assumptions used for the gradiometer correction algorithm. SEISS Hardware Performance (yellow/green):  All four instruments have or are likely to have performance waivers.  NGDC is part of the review panel for technical waivers.  Hardware waivers have not been sweeping; they have generally been limited to a few energy channels or angles. NGDC provided over 30 pages of detailed written comments on the SEISS calibration data books. The vendor is now in the process of working off these comments and revising the data books accordingly.  L0 Products (yellow/green):  Program has released a draft LZSS Project Plan (Apr ‘14) document describing the L0 Storage Service including the various “Use Cases” providing external user access to the GOES-R L0 data. The Program has separately funded development of systems to access the L0 data. L0 data will only be available via the WCDAS with no back-up or redundancy. 1SME Assessment

21 Space Weather Team Status: GOES-R Status (Details)
Detailed Comments1 (continued): L1b Products (yellow): After a detailed technical assessment by NGDC of the serious operational impacts of ground processing algorithms coded to the “frozen baseline” the GOES-R program has authorized a fix to the space weather L1b algorithm codes prior to GOES-R launch as “operational prototypes”. It is unclear how these “fixed” algorithms will be use to validate requirements. L2 Products (yellow): NWS/NESDIS AAs have agreed to submit a FY16 PCS for implementing L2+ SWx algorithms within NWS operational systems. NGDC is currently working with the NWS to “harmonize” the SPADES development for R2O transition. PDA (yellow): The nominal SPADES development initially uses PDA for access to L1b products with GRB access to follow. The NWS is pushing however to have us work the GRB interface sooner (or instead of) PDA. GRB (yellow): (ibid) The nominal SPADES development initially uses PDA for access to L1b products with GRB access to follow. The NWS is pushing however to have us work the GRB interface sooner (or instead of) PDA. SPADES (green): SPADES proposal was fully funded for FY14-16. 1SME Assessment

24 Special Interest Item SWx: TSI Calibration Transfer Experiment
The TSI Calibration Transfer Experiment (TCTE) has achieved one of its goals to obtain overlapping measurements with SORCE. LASP (Greg Kopp) is quite pleased with the quality of the TCTE data and how close these measurements compare with the prior record. Once the higher-quality TSIS/ISS data (accuracy of 100 ppm [0.01%]) overlap with TCTE, the accuracy of the historical record can be established.

25 Special Interest Item SWx: Space Weather Workshop – Side Meetings
L1 Requirements Workshop Doug Biesecker – Monday (4/5) Objective was to solicit community input on observing priorities and requirements for a DSCOVR follow- on. Baselined instruments are: solar wind mag, solar wind plasma, low energy ions and a coronagraph. Solar Energetic Particles Juan Rodriguez – Friday (4/11) Objectives were to: discuss the inter-calibration of SEP measure- ments, foster new inter-calibration efforts and recommend a path forward for establishing a set of guidelines for SEP inter-calibration.

26 Special Interest Item SWx: REACH Demo – HEALER
The USAF will fly a number of HEALER dosimeters aboard the Irridium constellation of satellites as a part of its Responsive Environmental Assessment Commercial Hosting (REACH) demonstration. Data from these dosimeters will be used for real-time space environmental hazard assessments. AFRL plans to use HEALER data in its Space Environment Anomaly Resolution (SpEAR) project for their “end-to-end data-to-decisions demonstration supporting DoD and commercial satellite operations.” Data made available via the NIPRNET (sensitive but unclassified data) should be available to NGDC in real time. Reach Demo - Responsive Environmental Assessment Commercial Hosting Demonstration Note: Distribution D applies to this slide STP Division 4QFY13 Review

27 Special Interest Item SWx: CIRES Innovative Research Program (IRP)
Janet Machol and Paul Loto’aniu were awarded a competitive CIRES IRP grant to measure the geocorona hydrogen density using solar absorption in the exosphere. This grant dovetails nicely the summer research activities of Janet and Paul’s (also Rod Viereck/SWPC and Marty Snow/LASP) incoming REU1 student Natalie Vezina. With the continuous operations of the GOES satellites over many years into the future, the results from this study should provide the basis for long-term monitoring of the Hydrogen density in the geocorona and therefore for improved atmospheric and plasma models based on GOES observations. Sketch to the right provides a view from above the North Pole. Plot shows three days of Lyman-α measurements at 1 minute cadence from a GOES satellite. Multi-hour H absorption dips occur each day. 1Research Experiences for Undergraduates STP Division 4QFY13 Review

28 Special Interest Item CORS: GLONASS Outage Incorrectly Linked to SWx
From 22 UTC on 01 Apr 14 until 09 UTC the next day the GLONASS GNSS was providing bad ephemeris data. Fran Coloma noted that were early suggestions that the system failure have been due to a solar storm. Juan Rodriguez determined that space weather was not a likely contributor to this anomaly. Later reports identified the source of the anomaly as an commanding issue. M-class flare occurred after the anomaly “It’s possible that the outage is related to either a new M-class solar storm — the start of which was reported about 48 hours ago — or recent X-class solar flare on March 29 at approximately 1700 UTC. The latter event caused a short-term radio blackout about one hour after the flare erupted.” Emptywheel (02 Apr 14) STP Division 4QFY13 Review

29 Special Interest Item EOG: Global Gas Flaring Reduction
BCM = * Average M10 radiance R2 = 0.90 N = 840 Calibration United States Irag from space The EOG has released its annual list of gas flaring countries for The top 20 countries are listed above with the U.S. coming in at #12. The largest single flare was located in Venezuela. NGDC has been monitoring the annual total gas flaring emission volumes for CO2 since Current estimates using VIIRS are more accurate than the earlier estimates which relied on DMSP nighttime imagery.

35 COPC – AAA of USAF Data Summary: Why Engage the COPC?
Issue – The Archive, Access and Assessment (AAA) of select USAF environmental data and products was previously covered by an NGDC- AFWA MOU that expired after FY09. Recommendation – The COPC should direct the WG/CSAB to charter a JAG for the expressed purpose of drafting an annex to the DAPE MOA to define the roles and responsibilities of Program Council/NOPC members for the continued AAA of USAF environmental data by NOAA. Consideration should be given to additional DoD operational datasets for inclusion as well as datasets to depreciate. Financial Considerations – The costs associated with the AAA of USAF environmental data should be considered. From an historical perspective the NGDC archive of AF data was originally supported on a cost-reimbursable basis. Due to lack of available resources the AF eventually ceased all funding for this activity. Renewed efforts to secure FY13 funding within AFW were unsuccessful. 1DMSP data received via McMurdo and forwarded to NGDC for public dissemination in compliance with the Antarctic Treaty is covered by a separate MOA.

37 COPC – AAA of USAF Data AF User Survey: Findings1
Air Force Space Command AFSPC/A5FW advocates for all the space weather parameters in the attached list of AF owned data elements. Each of these data elements is integrated into AFWA services providing support either directly or indirectly to DoD Space Situational Awareness (SSA) operations AFSPC requests continued archival of all space weather data for continued support of Space Situational Awareness. Air Force Research Laboratory There is a continued need to archive the data sets listed above (SSJ, SSIES, SSM) because of the uses of the data. The SOON data archived at NGDC are derived properties of solar optical emission generated at the SOON sites, such as active region numbers, sunspot area, and strength of flares. This data are used by AFRL at different levels of research. AFRL regards these RSTN data as critical for continued studies aimed at forecasting solar events that can affect USAF communications, navigation and radar. AFRL notes that they would like to see these data archived but it doesn’t necessarily need to be archived at NGDC. AFSPC Comments AFSPC/A5FW advocates for all the space weather parameters (not the terrestrial weather parameters--sub-paragraphs 1a-c) in the attached list of AF owned data elements. Each of these data elements is integrated into AFWA services providing support either directly or indirectly to DoD Space Situational Awareness (SSA) operations. Archival of these data supports SSA in three areas: (1) Space system/services anomaly forensic analysis, (2) Space weather climatology, (3) Operationally relevant space weather research. Anomaly Attribution: For application to space system and service anomaly forensics, there is a need for direct access to information relevant to the effects of the natural space environment. Access to information is needed back to the original launch of the system to compare conditions the given spacecraft/payload/link experienced in the past. There are events that occur once per solar cycle, requiring reach back to information to determine if like conditions in the past cause a given impact. The only data element not required to support anomaly assessments in this manner are the following: 1a-c; 2a,c,d. Space Weather Climatology: Like terrestrial climatology, space climatology provides a baseline comparison for current data and trends, as well as provides rudimentary information if operational observational data are not available. AFSPC depends upon 14th Weather Squadron to provide climatology services to SSA in a similar manner to terrestrial weather climatology services provided to ACC, AMC, etc. The only data elements not supporting space weather climatology are 1a-c. Space Weather research: Additionally, AFRL and FFRDC research using these archived data can be used to improve our understanding of the natural space environment through which our space systems operate and deliver services. AFSPC depends upon AFRL to apply this improved understanding to better attribute and predict environmental factors impacting our national security space capabilities and implementing appropriate response options to protect those capabilities. The only data elements not supporting operationally relevant space weather research are 1a-c. AFSPC requests continued archival of all space weather data for continued of Space Situational Awareness. AFRL Comments 1a) DMSP unprocessed data. Do not use this data. 1b) DMSP unprocessed data received via McMurdo Station. Do not use this data. 1c) DMSP Operational Linescan System (OLS) film records. Do not use this data. 1d) SSJ – Special Sensor J – Auroral Particle Detector. 1e) SSIES – Special Sensor Ion Electron Spectrometer. 1f) SSM – Special Sensor Magnetometer There is a continued need to archive the data sets listed above because of the uses of the data. These include: 1. Scientific research to understand the behavior of the topside ionosphere and how energy and momentum is transferred between the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Such research leads to the development of new space weather data products. 2. Long term trending of the performance of these sensors on orbit. For example, the detectors in the SSJ sensor are known to degrade over time. The only way to measure the change is to compare the current data with past data. We also compare the SSJ data between the various DMSP satellites to cross calibrate and compare degradation rates. We track sensor degradation in order to correct the SSJ data for the effect. 3. Troubleshooting problems with DMSP spacecraft systems or other DMSP sensors. For example, late last year (2011) a noise problem was discovered in the F18 SSULI data. The noise had an 8 second modulation that was traced back to the F18 SSIES3 sensor. Over the last several months the NRL team has compared SSULI, SSIES and other data to get to the root cause of the noise problem. 4. Calibration and validation of the SSUSI UV sensor. SSJ data is used to calibrate SSUSI radiances as well as validate SSUSI auroral products. We have archived these data at AFRL since the early 1980s. The data is stored on several computer systems (at AFRL and Boston College) as well as on physical media (CD, DVD). In addition we supply copies of this data to APL (SSJ), Aerospace Corp (SSJ, SSIES, SSM), UTD (SSIES), and NGDC (SSJ, SSIES, SSM). Whenever we have a need for the data we draw from our own archive. We do not know what archiving services NGDC provides but from our perspective they only serve as a redundant off-site storage location for this data. 1g) SSUSI – Special Sensor Ultraviolet Spectrographic Imager. Would like to see this data archived but it doesn’t necessarily need to be archived at NGDC. 1h) SSULI – Special Sensor Ultraviolet Limb Imager. Would like to see this data archived but it doesn’t necessarily need to be archived at NGDC. 2a) SOON Sunspot Analysis Worksheets 2c) DALAS Data – Solar Disk and Limb Summaries (DALAS) 2d) FLARE Data – Solar Flare Codes (FLARE) 2e) SPOTS Data – Sunspot Codes (SPOTS) 2f) STATS Data – Patrol Status Codes (STATS) The SOON data archived at NGDC are derived properties of solar optical emission generated at the SOON sites, such as active region numbers, sunspot area, and strength of flares. The real-time reports of these data are also archived by SWPC. This data, along with similar derived information from other observatories converted to a meta-form such as NOAA Active Region Reports, NOAA Flare and Activity Reports and Summaries, Sunspot Areas, etc, is used by AFRL at different levels of research. The data is in the form of small text files and the volume of data is insignificant. The original SOON telescope images would represent a larger data volume, but they were not in a digital form and are not currently archived by NGDC. Recently, SOON 8-bit images 512x512 images are being received at AFWA from the SOON sites in near real time. AFRL is yet to examine these images to understand both data rates and the need for evaluating the archive requirements. 2b) BURST Data – Discrete Solar Radio Burst Codes (BURST). This is listed under SOON in the document but actually comes from the RSTN sites: it is simply text lists of solar radio burst occurrences. This is used by AFRL and other groups for correlation studies and event identification. The files are small. 3a) RSTN/RIMS – Daily files of fixed frequency solar radio measurements 3b) RSTN/SRS – Daily files of spectral frequency solar radio measurements 3c) FLUX DATA – Integrated Solar Radio Flux Codes (IFLUX) 3d) SWEEP DATA – Spectral Solar Radio Burst Codes (SWEEP) The archived RSTN observations of radio emission from the Sun are used extensively by AFRL and other groups for research into causes and forecasting of events that can affect USAF assets. It is an irreplaceable data set that is widely relied upon for studies of correlations of radio emission with geoeffective solar events. The main volume of RSTN data consists of two parts: (i) daily files containing the SRS spectral data from MHz. Each file is about 6.5 Mbytes, and there are four observatories, so the total storage requirement is of order 10 GB per year. (ii) Daily files containing the fixed-frequency (RIMS; 245, 410, 610, 1415, 2695, 4995, 8800 and MHz) measurements, typically 0.25 MB per day each for an annual total of less than 400 MB. These data are not archived by SWPC. The other data at NGDC (noon flux measurements from each observatory each day, known as IFLUXdata, SWEEP codes, etc.) are small text files with minimal storage needs. SWPC posts the IFLUX values in the daily index files, but these are not available at SWPC beyond 45 days of the current date, so SWPC does not serve as a long-term archive of these data. The RSTN noon IFLUX measurements, along with the Penticton F10.7 fluxes, are an important component of studies of solar cycle behavior that are needed to forecast future levels of solar activity. The document lists the Palehua RSTN site as no longer operational: in fact this site was moved to a new location on the island of Oahu at Kaena Point, and it will continue to provide data along with the other three RSTN sites. It is expected that RSTN will be upgraded in several years, and the new system will likely produce higher data rates, but with storage costs currently below 10 cents per GB, the cost of storage space will remain very small. The mode of operation will also change, with all data coming in centrally to one AFWA location, which may help to simplify the data transfer to NGDC. AFRL regards these RSTN data as critical for continued studies aimed at forecasting solar events that can affect USAF communications, navigation and radar. The larger cost is presumably associated with the labor required to put the data on the web. This can be minimized by ensuring that the data supplied by NOAA and AFWA do not require further processing at NGDC, but rather just require to be posted in the appropriate locations on the NGDC web site. AFRL may be able to help with this effort. 4) Improved Solar Observing Optical Network (ISOON). ISOON raw image data in 12-bit 2048x2048 arrays is not currently being archived at NGDC. ISOON is transitioning to operations under AFWA control, and NGDC/NOAA is the obvious repository to be the holder and distributor of this data. Until now the National Solar Observatory (NSO) has been a collaborator with AFRL on the ISOON project and hosts ISOON Prototype data from the period before AFWA operation. An earlier plan to distribute ISOON data via the NSO’s virtual solar observatory is on hold, due to non-availability of resources at NSO. The Virtual Solar Observatory (hosted at NSO) has been a pointer-repository (points to where data is) of high-volume solar imaging data. ISOON Prototype data ( ) serves as the most consistent and high quality ground-based data source for chromospheric and photospheric research on solar flares, whose results are vitally important to AFWA. AFRL recommends that this data from both ISOON Prototype and the operational ISOON (starting 2012) be preserved by AFWA at NGDC. Data volumes of the ISOON data are expected to be of order 10 terabytes per year/ISOON site. 5) Digital Ionospheric Sounding System (DISS) 6) NEXION Would like to see this data archived but it doesn’t necessarily need to be archived at NGDC. Testing assimilative models on notable past events requires full data sets. Also should archive more than one solar cycle. This is because, as the lower atmosphere heats due to CO2, the upper atmosphere actually cools. To assess that cooling (which is essential for calculating orbital decay, for example), we need more than one solar cycle. 1Paraphrased – full text included on notes pages STP Division 4QFY13 Review

Sandholt, P.E., C.J. Farrugia and W.F. Denig (2014), M-I Coupling Across the Auroral Oval at Dusk and Midnight: Repetitive Substorm Activity Driven by Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), Ann. Geophys., 32, Schematic illustration of current systems relating to the dayside and nightside sources of polar cap convection as marked by two dawn - to - dusk directed E-fields (D and N) in the polar cap. The dayside source consists of dynamo processes (E · J < 0) in magnetospheric boundary layers (BLs) at high (HBL) and low (LLBL) latitudes. E-field coupling from the solar wind (ESW) (along old open field lines) to the polar cap in the postnoon sector is illustrated for a southwest - directed IMF (Bz < 0; By < 0). Dayside R1 FACs connected to the low-latitude boundary layer (LLBL) and the magnetopause current flowing over the top of the magnetosphere (JMP ) are shown. The substorm current systems are reproduced from Figure 1. The auroral oval is represented by two concentric circles. The Harang reversal boundary is marked by a dashed curved line connecting the poleward and equatorward oval boundaries at dusk - pre-midnight. E - field coupling from the tail lobe (ETL) to the nightside polar cap ionosphere (N) is indicated. Measurements of high-latitude electrostatic processes monitored by DMSP are used to characterize physical processes in the nightside auroral zones STP Division 4QFY13 Review
