Project description
How is the weather in space?
The weather in space is not the same as the weather on Earth. The sun is the primary agent of space weather. Near real-time space weather nowcasts may be better than forecasting. Nowcasts are based on advanced data assimilation techniques with physics-based models. Currently, operational use of such nowcasts is limited by lack of high-quality real-time data beyond geostationary Earth orbit satellites. In this context, the EU-funded FARBES project proposes that it is impossible to accurately predict the break of a space weather event; however, once an event has started, it is possible to predict subsequent behaviour and to update predictions during the event. Using physics-based models driven by simple, affordable and reliable ground-based real-time inputs, FARBES will overcome the data-assimilation nowcast limitations.
