Description
The availability of high time resolution NM data in near real-time through NMDB makes it possible to generate GLE alerts. Potential stakeholders are researchers in the field of space weather as well as e.g. airlines who have to assess the radiation dose exposure of crew members and passengers along the flight routes. Currently, at least two institutions operate such alert applications. These routines continuously monitor the NM data provided by NMDB. A GLE alarm is triggered as soon as predefined criteria are met, and the registered interested parties get an immediate notification by e-mail. While this approach is certainly adequate for many of the service subscribers, more interested parties lack further information. We, therefore, discuss whether forecasts can be made of the development of a GLE based on NM data in the course of an event and how this information could be made available e.g. through a continuously updated webpage.
