Solar-Emission Data-Input Requirements to Support Disturbances Forecasting: SOLRAD Applications Study, Tasks III and IV.
Abstract
Development of a solar-disturbance forecasting system for reducing or circumventing degradation of performance in operational systems depends upon the ability to (1) describe the earth environment in terms of a transfer medium for the specific system and (2) assess and predict the effects of solar-radiation fluctuations upon the transfer medium and, hence, upon the system performance. A need exists for a wide range of solar X-ray, UV, and particle measurements with time resolution, spectral resolution, and dynamic range, so that solar emissions can be monitored in detail continusouly and in near real-time. The SOLRAD High Satellite System (SR XI A, B, C) offers the only sensor package capable of providing the necessary data inputs for a suitable solar/ionospheric disturbance forecasting system.
