HELIO Web Pages Updated

Following the end of the HELIO project we have revised the layout of the project Web pages.

Pages related specifically to the project have been removed and a new set of pages highlighting the Capabilities of HELIO have been created.

Updated Service GUIs

We have updated many of the GUIs used to access the HELIO Services. The GUIs that have been chnaged include the Instrument Capabilities Service (ICS), Instrument Location Service (ILS), Context Service (CXS) and Data Provider Access Service (DPAS); we have also created a new interface for the Unified Observing Catalogue (UOC) using the same structure.

The updated GUIs can be found on the HELIO  Service Interfaces page.

Information about the Services can be found on the HELIO Capabilities pages.

The new GUIs are best viewed from Firefox, Chrome or Safari. We are still trying to identify a problem in using Internet Explorer.

CASSIS splinter session at the Ninth European Space Weather Week

The CASSIS project will be presented in a splinter session during the Ninth European Space Weather Week (November 5 - 9, 2012, Brussels, Belgium). The CASSIS splinter session will take place on the 8th of November from 16:30 to 18:30.

HELIO poster at the Ninth European Space Weather Week

During the Ninth European Space Weather Week, which will take place in Brussels from the 5th to the 9th of Novembre 2012, the HELIO project will be presented through a use case during the poster session 5 (Friday, November 09, 2012, 11:00-11:30). The use case presents the study of 9 periods during which L-band dropouts and scintillations were observed, including a particularly severe dropout, with a duration of ~10 minutes, which occurred on 2011 September 24. As a result it has been found that dropouts were associated with large microwave bursts, while the majority of scintillations were associated with CMEs.

HELIO CDAW4 - NEWS

The fourth HELIO CDAW has been successfully held in Dublin at on 4-7 September 2012. The 25 participants has been divided in three working groups dealing respectively with the following challenges:

·

•    Challenge 1 - Heliospheric variability over the solar cycle

Chaired by D. Shaun Bloomfield and Paul A. Higgins, School of Physics, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland

•    Challenge 2 - The 100 CME challenge

Chaired by Jason P. Byrne, Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, USA, and Baptiste Cecconi, LESIA, Observatoire de Paris, Meudon, France

•   Challenge 3 - HELIO as a tool for space weather

Chaired by Peter Gallagher, School of Physics, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland, and Mauro Messerotti, INAF-Astronomical Observatory of Trieste, Trieste, Italy

    The outcomes of the above challenges will be presented as posters at the Ninth European Space Weather Week, November 5 - 9, 2012, Brussels, Belgium.

 

HELIO - HFE video tutorial

A video tutorial explaining how to use HELIO is now available on You Tube at this link. The considered use case shows how to find data of a Solar event seen in Earth and Mars.  

HELIO CDAW-4

The Fourth HELIO Coordinated Data Analysis Workshop (CDAW) will will take place on 4-7 September 2012 in the School of Physics of Trinity College Dublin (TCD). More information about both the scientific goals and the registation/meeting information are available here.
