Hello everyone,
It's almost time for the May session of the VERSIM/GEM Journal Club! This month, we have Dr Shri Kanekal from the GSFC, NASA, presenting the space weather applications of the NASA Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission. This session will be held on May 13 (a week later than usual) to avoid conflict with EGU.
The abstract and the Zoom link are provided below. More details about the journal club can be found here: https://aurora.troja.mff.cuni.cz/versim/index_jc.html
We hope to see many of you there!
Best wishes,
Mirek, Rachel, Jodie, Harriet, Yang and Suhail
Date and time: 13 May @ 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 4pm UTC / 5pm BST / 6pm CEST
Zoom link: https://universityofexeter.zoom.us/j/94859939623?pwd=MWtlb3K4pwAdb5qA5TaL2tJlFfSaPb.1
Speaker: Dr Shri Kanekal (GSFC, NASA)
Title: Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe mission and Space Weather
Abstract:
NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission investigates two of the most important overarching issues in heliophysics today, namely, the acceleration of energetic particles and interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium. Carrying a comprehensive suite of ten instruments, IMAP was successfully launched and placed in a Lissajous orbit around the Lagrange point L1. Additionally, IMAP has an important Space weather aspect, the IMAP Active Link for Real-Time (I-ALiRT).
Space Weather encompasses adverse conditions originating in space, causing disruption of satellites, inflicting harmful radiation to humans in space, as well as disabling terrestrial electric power grids, leading to socioeconomic losses and impacts on society.
Scientific understanding of physical phenomena driving space weather leading to operational forecasting and thereby mitigating these adverse effects is critical to life on Earth.
Five of the ten instruments on IMAP make measurements that are critical for advancing space weather research and operational forecasting. These measurements are continuously telemetered in near real-time as I-ALiRT space weather data system.
In this talk we provide a brief overview of the IMAP mission, describe the I-ALiRT instruments and measurements, real-time data flow architecture, and publicly available space weather data products.
