The ESA SSA Space Weather team is pleased to announce that SWE Portal 2.13.0 was released on the 25 February 2020. In this update, the SSA SWE Services have been enhanced with the incorporation of the following new and updated products and tools listed below. Access the services via the Service Domains section of the SWE Portal.

From the Geomagnetic Conditions Expert Service Centre:

• The Space Weather research group of the University of Alcalá (UAH) provides:
  • Products for monitoring regional geomagnetic disturbances and estimating GIC phenomena have been updated due to a change of input data.

From the Heliospheric Weather Expert Service Centre:

• RAL Space provides:
  • On-Demand Enlil 3D MHD Case Study, allowing users to request off-line model runs based on user provided inputs of CME characteristics and background conditions. The product is currently provided as a prototype and is intended for post-event case study analysis since it may take several days for results to become available
  • On-Demand EUHFORIA 3D MHD Case Study, allowing users to request off-line model runs based on user provided inputs of CME characteristics and background conditions. The product is currently provided as a prototype and is intended for post-event case study analysis since it may take several days for results to become available
• KU Leuven provides:
  • An update to the VSWMC allowing for the user to be able to select GONG ADAPT magnetograms as another data source for simulation runs involving EUHFORIA.
  • A warning message indicating that the BAS-RBM will no longer be supported in the near future.

From the Space Radiation Expert Service Centre:

• The Cosmic Ray Group from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens provides:
  • DYASTIMA (DYnamic Atmospheric Shower Tracking Interactive Model Application), a simulation of the shower cascades generated in a planet's atmosphere due to cosmic rays. The output provides all the available information about the cascade, such as the number, the energy, the direction, the arrival time and the energy deposit of the secondary particles at different atmospheric layers. The DYASTIMA-R extension provides the radiation doses within the atmosphere by calculating the energy that is deposited in a cylindrical phantom, allowing a comparison of the contribution of different particles to the total equivalent dose.
• The Center for Space Radiations, Université Catholique de Louvain provides:
  • Static radiation models for electrons, protons and helium at LEO were derived for regions covered by the high quality PROBA-V/EPT data. Statistical quantities are provided for each energy channel in bins of B-L, as well as weekly average time series for each calendar year.

From the Ionospheric Weather Expert Service Centre:

• Ionosphere Monitoring and Prediction Center, German Aerospace Center provides:
  • The regional Maximum Usable Frequency (MUF) for a slip distance of 750 km covering a horizontal area with a radius of 400-500 km from the transmitting station. An information message (including statistical values and a 1-3 hour forecast) follows the MUF data plot. This is completed by a TEC gradient plot for the European sector for assessing the validity and gradients of the products. Further specific MUF data products and time delay of data delivery is added to the above information. This product is currently provided as a prototype.

From the Solar Weather Expert Service Centre:

• Solar Influences Data analysis Centre, Royal Observatory of Belgium provides:
  • Updates to the interface of the "Automated Solar Radio Burst Detections" product. These updates include the addition of a table detailing the start and end time of the latest detected bursts along side the corresponding latest data plot. Additionally, the archive access to the data product has been enhanced to allow the users to easily produce a list of bursts detected within their chosen time-frame and are presented with the corresponding plots. All of these updates are also reflected in the API access to the data.
