Integrated Space Weather Analysis (iSWA)

Principal Investigator (PI)
Description and Objectives
  • iSWA is a flexible, Web-based dissemination system for NASA-relevant space weather information combining forecasts based on advanced space weather models with concurrent space environment information. iSWA's primary objectives are:
    • Retrieve environmental data and model output from a large and evolving list of resources.
    • Categorize and archive data for historical impact analysis.
    • Produce and provide real-time data streams.
    • Process data into "mission decision supporting" outputs.
    • Provide customizable and highly configurable displays.
    • Disseminate through the most widely deployed and accessible interface - the web

Technical Approach
  • iSWA is comprised of five core modules:
    1. Information Retrieval Robot (IRR) - Automatically configures/re-configures to routinely ingest external data streams.
    2. Data Sorter (DS) - All data is registered, time-tagged, sorted, categorized, and archived.
    3. Tool Service (TS) - New products are created using raw data or combinations of existing data products.
    4. Widget Agent (WA) - data products packaged for display
    5. Configurable Web-based Dissemination Service (CWDS) - provides highly configurable control panel.
Main Innovation(s)
  • iSWA provides a new capability to quickly access past, present, and expected space weather effects.
  • Users have access to a comprehensive suite of space weather analysis tools that can be organized and presented in unique and highly customizable displays.
  • Comprehensive data model driving iSWA minimizes need for code modifications allowing rapid additions/modifications to data feeds and display products.
Infusion Potential
  • All NASA Robotic Missions
  • DOD, Power Grid, Airline Industry,...
