Description
Various European projects that provide space weather services, such as spacecraft operations and aviation, rely on neutron monitor data. In this presentation, two major European projects will be discussed, respectively ESA Space Safety Program (S2P) Space WEather Service NETwork (SWESNET, https://swe.ssa.esa.int/) and Pan-European Consortium for Aviation Space weather User Services (PECASUS, https://pecasus.eu/). Neutron monitor data is used by several products in the SWESNET Space Radiation Expert Service Centre (R-ESC) product portfolio (e.g., ANeMoS, AVIDOS, COMESEP, and UTU-SEP products). PECASUS relies on neutron monitor data to estimate the radiation exposure at flight level, a key input for compiling ICAO radiation advisories. To maintain these products continued operation of neutron monitor stations must be ensured. Further extensions and support of the current network with new or updated stations and services in terms of reliable real-time data is thus encouraged.
