Impacts and Results of the FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 Mission for Space Weather Operations and Research
Session ID#: 124425
Session Description:
FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 (F7/C2) is a joint satellite program between the Taiwan and the United States governments providing space weather data for operational and research communities. Each satellite has a mission payload, a Tri-GNSS Radio occultation System (TGRS) instrument, as well as two science payloads, an Ion Velocity Meter (IVM) and Radio Frequency Beacon (RFB). The F7/C2 mission provides unprecedented data coverage at low latitudes from altitudes ranging from 90 to 550 km and across all local times. Products support ionospheric forecasting and space weather research at scales ranging from global ionospheric specification to small scale ionospheric scintillation/irregularities within the low-latitude Equatorial Ionospheric Anomaly (EIA) region. Presentations related to use of F7/C2 data products for both operational and scientific applications as well as comparisons and joint observations with existing satellite missions, such as NASA ICON, GOLD and ESA SWARM, and assimilation/modeling works in connection to application of F7/C2 data are also solicited.
