Abstract

[1]  The Space Weather Analysis (SWA) is an 11 year space weather representation using the output of physically consistent data-driven space weather models. The resulting product is an enhanced look at the space environment on consistent grids, time resolution, coordinate systems and containing key fields allowing a user with modeling capability to quickly and easily incorporate the impact of the near-Earth space climate in environmentally sensitive models. The results will be made available via the eGY standards along with tools for intelligent data mining, classification and event detection developed jointly with WDC-B, Russia which will be applied to the historical space-weather database.
