TDM15 - Global cooperation in ground-based ionospheric observation
- Tobias Verhulst (RMI)
- Ivan Galkin
- Mamoru Ishii (NICT & ISEE Nagoya University)
Description
It is essential to have global cooperation in ground-based observation for space weather phenomena because no one can cover the observational area all over the world by oneself.
Many organizations have been discussing the establishment of international cooperative relationships, data sharing, and standardization of formats. However, there have been few successful examples.
GION, Global Ionosonde Observation/operation network has been established on January 2025 for promoting communications among ionosonde operators and data users. This action comes from the discussion in the International Space Weather Coordination Forum held on November 17, 2023 at WMO headquarter, Geneve.
In TDM, the aim of GION will be introduced and have talks from some members but spend more time for discussion about what we can and what we should.
