Titolo: | A Short-term ESPERTA-based Forecast Tool for Moderate-to-extreme Solar Proton Events | Autori: | LAURENZA, MONICA ALBERTI, TOMMASO Cliver, E. W. |
Data pubblicazione: | 2018 | Rivista: | THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL | Numero: | 857 | Fascicolo: | 2 | Da pagina:: | 107 | Abstract: | The ESPERTA (Empirical model for Solar Proton Event Real Time Alert) forecast tool has a Probability of Detection (POD) of 63% for all >10 MeV events with proton peak intensity ≥10 pfu (i.e., ≥S1 events, S1 referring to minor storms on the NOAA Solar Radiation Storms scale), from 1995 to 2014 with a false alarm rate (FAR) of 38% and a median (minimum) warning time (WT) of ∼4.8 (0.4) hr. The NOAA space weather scale includes four additional categories: moderate (S2), strong (S3), severe (S4), and extreme (S5). As S1 events have only minor impacts on HF radio propagation in the polar regions, the effective threshold for significant space radiation effects appears to be the S2 level (100 pfu), above which both biological and space operation impacts are observed along with increased effects on HF propagation in the polar regions. We modified the ESPERTA model to predict ≥S2 events and obtained a POD of 75% (41/55) and an FAR of 24% (13/54) for the 1995-2014 interval with a median (minimum) WT of ∼1.7 (0.2) hr based on predictions made at the time of the S1 threshold crossing. The improved performance of ESPERTA for ≥S2 events is a reflection of the big flare syndrome, which postulates that the measures of the various manifestations of eruptive solar flares increase as one considers increasingly larger events. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/30824 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/aab712 | ISSN: | 0004-637X | DOI: | 10.3847/1538-4357/aab712 | Bibcode ADS: | 2018ApJ...857..107L | Fulltext: | open |
