TDM12 - Potential game-changing data streams to advance space weather forecasting

Description
Space Weather observations are the backbone of all space weather services and science. Currently many new missions are in development that will provide crucial additional data to improve space weather forecasting, such as ESA’s Vigil mission going to L5. In a community discussion we would like to discuss and get feedback on further improvements: What other key observation points should be targeted by upcoming missions to achieve clear advances in forecasting lead times or accuracies? What is the low latency data stream that we currently do not have, but if we did, would provide a substantial advancement for space weather forecasting? We will introduce a few new concepts under discussion and open the floor for community ideas and needs.
