SWWT Topical Groups

The SWWT proposes the creation of a new topical group focused on solar monitoring and indices. Open to all SWWT members, this group aims to facilitate regular email discussions on thematic projects, progress updates, and the promotion of ESA SWAPP activities within Europe and other communities. Key areas of focus include fundamental research on solar effects, ground and atmospheric influences, and educational outreach. A recent membership survey indicated strong interest among 104 participants from ESA member states and associates, signaling a need for active engagement in this crucial field.

  3. Topical Groups • Fundamental Research (e.g. solar, S-T, including future missions and instrumentation) , H. Lundstedt • Ground Effects (GIC, prospecting, tourism), R. Pirjola • Atmospheric Effects (incl. Drag), TBD • Ionospheric Effects , Lj. Cander • Spacecraft & Aircraft Environments , A. Hilgers • Education, Outreach and Emerging Markets, N. Crosby

  4. Updates • SDA distribution indicated need for a “topical group” on solar monitoring and indices. • SDA session on 14th Nov. chaired and reported on by M. Messerotti • Should this form another TG, or part of an existing?

  5. Membership • Recently conducted survey of (public) membership list • 104 people confirmed continued interest • All were asked to register for topical groups. • Most from ESA member states. Plus many associate members from non-ESA members states • SDAs, industry, research, ESA (several), • Large proportion of scientists and service developers. Few users – still involved typically on a case by case basis where specific invitation is issued. • National representatives (some) Note.. • Not everyone responded. Including some members of the coordination group (!) Conclusion. Large community interested to be informed of activities. In practice, a smaller group active on a regular basis. List will be made available via the SWWT website & TG spokespersons will receive updated list of interested participants.
