Space weather, Transitioning Research to Operations
Research in solar-terrestrial physics, development of space weather services and mitigation of space weather hazards:
“Space weather refers to conditions on the Sun, in the solar wind, and within Earth’s magnetosphere, ionosphere and thermosphere that can influence the performance and reliability of space-borne and ground-based technological systems and can endanger human life or health”.
TEDx, December 2021, with English subtitles.
The main users of space weather services are:
Interdisciplinary applications
Development of advanced data analysis techniques for the extraction of useful knowledge, control, and forecasting in interdisciplinary applications.

Operating Space Weather Services
1. RESONANCE
The forecats of F10.7 and F30 solar radio flux 1-3 day ahead. The F10.7 and F30 radio flux indices are used as a proxy of the solar EUV radiationand required by most models to characterize the state of the thermosphere and for thermospheric drag calculation, in order to specify satellite orbits, re-entry services, collision avoidance maneuvers and modeling of space debris evolution.
2. Catalogue of Hemispheric Sunspot Numbers
Updated every month and published on the World Data Center for the production, preservation and dissemination of the international sunspot number (SILSO).
3. Solar wind forecast ESWF24
ESWF24 service provides 24, 36, and 48-hour solar wind forecasts by using the information on coronal holes on the Sun.
4. Geomagnetic Storm Forecasting Service StormFocus
StormFocus service provides advance warnings about the future geomagnetic storm magnitude on an hourly basis. The forecast is based on real-time solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field data, provided by the DSCOVR spacecraft which is located at the L1 Sun-Earth liberation point 1 500 000 km upstream of Earth. Forecasts are updated every hour and published on SpaceWeather.Ru.
5. Updated medium-term sunspot number prediction service
A universal technique that improves medium-term prediction methods as they are monthly updated using the latest available observations of smoothed sunspot numbers using an adaptive Kalman filter. Forecasts are updated every month and published on the World Data Center for the production, preservation and dissemination of the international sunspot number (SILSO).
6. Forecast of the auroral oval boundaries and aurora borealis on Yamal island
Forecast based on real-time DSCOVR solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field data. The forecast provides estimates of geomagnetic latitudes of poleward and equatorward boundaries of the auroral oval, and equatorward boundary of the diffusive aurora for the next hour. Forecasts are updated every hour and published on SpaceWeather.Ru.

Course “Space Sector Course”
This course examines the domain of space from multiple vantage points — space as a business, a way of life, as industry, and as a fulfillment of human dreams. In addition, it examines space-related issues that drive key international regulatory, economic, and global policy. To gain insight into these different dimensions, we examine space through three different lenses: sub-sectors, technologies, and organizations.

Course “Solar Observations with a Telescope”
1-week individual study period course. Course co-instructor: Galina Chikunova
The purpose of this course is to give a brief understanding of how astrophotography works, how should we work with a telescope and what we can observe with it in conditions of living in Moscow. The other part is headed to give students an introduction to Solar Physics, which events we can observe on the Sun, what information we can receive from this data and why it is important to know. The course provides lectures and 1-2 practical classes of observing the Sun, plus the session of data processing.
