Description

The SWIF ionospheric forecasting algorithm provides alerts and warnings for upcoming ionospheric storm disturbances and ionospheric forecasts over Europe. SWIF combines historical and real-time ionospheric observations with solar wind parameters obtained in real time at L1 point through the cooperation of an autoregression forecasting algorithm, namely TSAR that provides real-time ionospheric forecasts up to 24 hours ahead during all possible conditions with an empirical method, namely STIM, that formulates the ionospheric storm-time response triggered by solar wind disturbances.

    The EIS provides a browser-based user interface for data browsing and downloading. Direct data access requires authentication by external organisation (ESA); once user access is authorised the link lands directly at the EIS page. Three products derive from the SWIF Model: (a) foF2 Forecasts Maps, (b) foF2 Forecasts Plots Over Stations and (c) Ionospheric Alerts.
