Near-realtime data collection from Syowa Station and its utilizationfor space weather forecast (extended abstract)

The acquisition and transfer system of observational data of Syowa Station using INMARSAT link have been developed. Using this system, near-realtime data of Antarctica become available in Japan. To apply these data to the space weather forecast, J-index is introduced for a realtime evaluation of geo...

Description
Summary:The acquisition and transfer system of observational data of Syowa Station using INMARSAT link have been developed. Using this system, near-realtime data of Antarctica become available in Japan. To apply these data to the space weather forecast, J-index is introduced for a realtime evaluation of geomagnetic activities, which showed a good correlation with the K-indices.
