Space Weather Forecasting with Interplanetary Scintillation Data (6-hour updates)

Most of these kinematic model analyses, in older formats using ISEE IPS data, can be found at: http://ips.ucsd.edu. A different kinematic model version is operated at the Korean Space Weather Center (KSWC). The analyses used to drive ENLIL in near real time can be found at George Mason University, and at the KSWC. An archive of the IPS analyses can be found at: Real-Time Data (anonymous ftp images and data).

Volumetric cuts:

Planar cuts along the ecliptic: These show the radial and tangential fields (normalized to 1 AU) as planar cuts along the ecliptic within 3 hours of the current time. The Sun is in the center; Earth is shown in its orbit around the Sun. The inner planets and their orbits, Parker Solar Probe, BepiColombo, and Solar Orbiter locations are shown on the left. The same is shown on the below, but to the orbit of Jupiter, and Jupiter's orbit is also shown. The maps are derived from the UCSD kinematic tomographic time-dependent model of the solar wind that is fit to interplanetary scintillation (IPS) g-levels and velocities obtained daily from ISEE, Japan. The data fit is updated every six hours

Planar cuts at the Earth's meridian: These show the radial and tangential fields (normalized to 1 AU) as planar cuts along at the Earth's meridian at the same time as the ecliptic cuts. The Sun is in the center; Earth is shown on its orbit (a straight line) to the right of the image. The inner planets, and Jupiter are shown on the lower plots, Parker Solar Probe, BepiColombo, and Solar Orbiter locations are shown.
