Particularly good timing given the elevated solar activity and in view of the upcoming Solar Maximum 25, as I am proud to report that a broad community effort in the frame of #COSPAR’s Panel on Space Weather / International Space Weather Action Teams is finally accepted for publication in the Advances in Space Research. The “Prediction of Solar Energetic Events Impacting Space Weather Conditions” has just appeared online at https://lnkd.in/dqAw5BeS This is a grassroots review and roadmap paper attempting a crosscut of the state of the field, namely the prediction of solar flares, CMEs and SEP events directly from solar sources. Discussion on AI methods and machine/deep learning, lots of references, future prospects and an assortment of missions underway and future mission concepts are all in. We miss a lot to efficiently predict the solar activity, as can be seen in the #JHUAPL figure on Gap Analysis to #NASA below, that is part of the paper. Knowledge of gaps is already power, though. Distinctly privileged to coordinate this effort and huge thanks to the other 45 authors from around the world, without whom none of this would be even remotely possible.
