From the Heliospheric Weather Expert Service Centre:
- The product Shock Tool is transferred from Expert Group providers, from Centre de Données de la Physique des Plasmas (CDPP) to Infor'marty (Infor'marty). This product has minor edits in the Help, along with minor edits on Solar Wind Flux Tube forecast (SWiFT) Help also.
- Informarty provides updates for the Magnetic Connectivity Tool, which comprises an enhanced API to ease access to the graphical setup, allowing to choose input data and layers; and a new symbol for the modelled magnetic polarity displayed for each location.
From the Space Radiation Expert Service Centre:
- The Space Application & Research Consultancy provides
- Version 2 of the NGRM Level 2 proton flux datasets has been released. All GEO NGRM proton products have been updated accordingly
- The Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB) provides the release of the new version of SPENVIS (4.6.13) has been released, which includes the following upgrades:
- Addition of the IGRF-14 coefficients
- Update of the SPICE ephemeris data and extension of the PLANETOCOSMICS simulation time up to 30 minutes
- Option to run a user-defined trapped particle flux spectrum over an uploaded trajectory
- Fix of broken links related to Geant4 tools
From the Ionospheric Weather Expert Service Centre:
- ESA SWE Data Centre (SWE Portal) provides:
- An update of Ionospheric Scintillation Monitoring (ISM) products suite. The algorithm has been upgraded to operate under extremely high solar activity conditions.
From the ESA Space Weather Office:
- This release introduces a new dashboard in the "ESA Space Weather Data" section, providing a combined view of latest Level 1b data from ESA's Distributed Space Weather Sensor System (D3S) in a single dashboard. Descriptions of the instruments and the data displayed can be found in the linked web pages within this section. Full data access is via the SWE Data Browser or HAPI interface.
- NGRM is the second Space Weather instrument flying as part of ESA's Distributed Space Weather Sensor System (D3S). Latest data from the NGRM instrument onboard the first Meteosat Third Generation-Imager (MTG-I1, also known as Meteosat-12) spacecraft is now provided as part of the General Data Services. Access this via the SWE Data Browser or API and find out more about NGRM here.
- SOSMAG/GK2A, EDRS-C/NGRM, and Sentinel-6-MF/NGRM datasets have been renamed. Please be reminded to move to using the new datasets, as the old datasets are deprecated and will be decommissioned with Portal release 3.14. Please find the details of the renaming on the respective instrument pages.
In this update on the ESA SWE Portal:
- This release includes a new page introducing the Protect Accelerator's Space Weather Demonstrator activities and their actions geared towards promoting increased resilience to space weather and its potential impacts.
- ESASpaceweather has Bluesky! Find the feed on the Current Space Weather at Latest News and Updates.
- The first Space Weather Major Report, addressing the event on April 2023, can be found on "Information For Users" → "Manuals and Tutorials"
Due to recent rebranding, The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) is presented in the portal with the new name GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences, new logo and new institution webpage.
