  1. European Digital Upper Atmosphere Server DIAS A project co-funded by the eContent programme of the European Commission

  2. Overview The project aims at the development of a European digital data collection on the state of the upper atmosphere and on the efficient promotion of this collection to the world market.

  3. Objectives • To develop a pan-European digital data collection on the state of the upper atmosphere based on historical data collections and on the real-time information provided by several European ionospheric stations. • To develop a new digital server for the management and distribution of this collection, based on cutting edge technologies. • To develop, through the collaboration of the private sector companies that belong to DIAS consortium, all necessary actions for the efficient promotion of this pan-European digital data collection and new added value products based on the raw data, to the European and worldwide market.

  4. Why Europe needs DIAS? • Currently, the existing digital European stations operate independently • This independent operation creates several barriers for transforming this information into usable data, products and services,failing to address the increased market demands for a unified collection of historical and real time upper-atmosphere data, especially nowcast and forecast services for the European region. • DIAS will overcome this problem by operating a systemcompetitive to those that exist already for Australia and the US.

  5. Groups of potential users of DIAS products and services • Aviation industry (civil and military) • Defense • HF communication Systems • Satellite operators • Commercial satellite designers • Navigation Systems • Ground-based systems managers and operators • Upper atmosphere researchers • Seismic hazards researchers

  6. Data, products and services • Real-time and archive ionograms • Real-time and archive SAO files • Real-time f-plots of fmin, foF2, and M(3000)F2

  7. Data, products and services • Ionospheric maps over the European area of monthly median foF2 and M(3000)F2 [based on SIRM, Zolesi et al., 1993] • Ionospheric maps over the European area of the real-time foF2 and M(3000)F2 for individual epochs for the now-casting frequency management [based on SIRMUP, Zolesi et al., 2004] • Ionospheric maps over the European area of instantaneous foF2 and M(3000)F2 values at a time specified by the user • Ionospheric forecast maps over the European area representative of foF2 conditions up to 24-hours ahead [based on SIRMUP, Zolesi et al., 2003, calculating the forecasting values according to the Muhtarov et al., 2002 model].

  8. Data, products and services • Real-time maps of ionospheric electron density over the European area at user-specified heights [Stanislawska et al., 2001] • Maps over the European area of monthly median MUF for different transmission points • Real-time maps of the Maximum Usable Frequency (MUF) over the European area for different transmission points. [Dominici and Zolesi, 1987; Davies, 1990]

  9. Data, products and services • Ionospheric alert indexes foF2AI (%) and M(3000)F2AI (%) with the sections of the map coloured appropriately to show where the criteria hold [Cander et al., 2005]
