This task will be performed during September- October NOTE: 5-min data used for the same period in the past were not validated because the final 5-min data from May 21, 1997 to the present were produced only recently (see data report list).

9 2 - Work for SVIRCO Data Delivery Preparation of the SVIRCO questionnaire for WP3 As required by WP3 the online questionnaire prepared by NKUA was filled. As can be seen in the SVIRCO NM DATA INVENTORY, Rome produces 1 min data (updated every 1 min) since January 2002 (real time data). Moreover, pressure corrected 5-min data (updated every 5 min) are displayed in the SVIRCO server for the prompt check of the scientific community.

Cosmic Ray Fluctuations: Status report for WP5 According to the timing of the work package, it has been realized an inventory of recent and past papers on the subject, necessary to understand the state of art and how to improve the accuracy of results by using different types of analyses. Cosmic ray fluctuations will be studied on different time scales by using reliable datasets coming from the NMDB project. During the Kosice Meeting, it will be discussed with the other partners of the topic (Kosice, Almaty) the different steps to be faced to reach the proposed goals in the framework of NMDB project. One of the aims is, for example, to obtain information on short time scale about travelling interplanetary perturbations, their associated IMF inhomogeneities and then their possible effects on the Earth s environment Inventory of recent and past papers A.V.

Libin, Cosmic ray scintillations and dynamic processes in space, Space Science Reviews, , Selection of two events for Kosice Meeting Two events occurred on September and July 2005 were selected for the Kosice Meeting. The calculation is based on the use of the 5 minute pressure-corrected data of NMs from the NMDB network, at high latitude and low latitude with high statistics, as well as IMF and solar wind data (ACE), geomagnetic (Kp, ap, Dst) indices and solar data. The final output of this analysis should be information on the changes of the interplanetary medium conditions before and during the interplanetary disturbances. In particular, for the September 2005 event (preceded by days of low solar activity) the active region AR 10808, rotating from the Eastern limb to the solar central meridian, gave origin to successive coronal mass ejections affecting the interplanetary medium.

16 4. Training & dissemination for WP6 4.1 INAF/UNIRomaTre Synergies for NMDB The first local open doors of the SVIRCO Observatory for the current year was performed on February 18, 2008 for students of the Italian high schools. It was organized as a stage of Astronomy and included Cosmic Rays, Space Weather and the Nucleonic component detection by means of neutron monitors. Follows the program: (images of Parisi presentation are in )

17 4.2 Concepts for PO site An high number of Web sites provide, for users with different levels of knownoledge, background information on basic concepts in solar and heliospheric physics, cosmic rays, magnetospheric, terrestrial physics, climate and space wheater. In this contest, the main concepts to organize a PO site in relation to our project, should be based on: - Importance of the neutron monitor measurements and the collaborative efforts among neutron monitor stations; - Underlining of past historical collaboration (IGY, IQSY) and its results obtained in cosmic ray physics; - Identification of key issue for Space Wheater and its effect in the Earth s environment and human activity; - Relevance of know-how transfer from the single cosmic ray station to the NMDB project; - Importance of forecast/prediction work for the maximum phase of the next solar activity cycle N. 24. These topics had to be adapted for students, young researchers, public community involving experts to develop outreach programes, training courses and dissemination activity. It is important that this outreach activity should focus on developing partnership between existing European programmes to broaden its visibility and impact. Proposed organization of the Web site (Items+subitems) (Suggestions and comments are reported for each Item) Home + What is a neutron monitor? - Neutron monitors are ground-based detectors for cosmic ray measurements. Cosmic rays are highly energetic charged particles (predominantly protons, together with heavier nuclei of atoms, but also electrons and gamma rays) originating in the galaxy and traveling through interstellar space. They have to propagate through the interplanetary magnetic field that is frozen into the solar wind, and the Earth s magnetic field before they arrive at the Earth s atmosphere. Due to collisions with nuclei of atmospheric atoms, showers of secondary particles are produced. The nuclear active components of the secondaries are detected by a neutron monitor. -The counting rate of a neutron monitor is, therefore, a measure of the intensity of cosmic rays arriving at a measurement site (it depends on latitude, longitude and elevation). An optimal distribution of neutron monitors across the Earth s surface is required to derive the time-dependent directionality and intensity spectrum of cosmic rays within the energy range of detection on Earth. By using data of the great instrument (the world-wide network of detectors + geomagnetic field measurements), together with those of solar wind, interplanetary magnetic field and solar atmosphere, it is possible to study all aspects of galactic cosmic ray intensity variations and the solar cosmic rays propagation in the heliosphere. - Since IGY (1957), continuous measurements of the cosmic ray secondary component in the terrestrial atmosphere, recorded by neutron monitors, provide a continuous monitoring

18 of cosmic ray primary energy spectrum in an interval of rigidity (~ GV) and in different directions of particle arrival. + History: IGY IQSY IHY, past collaborations since Articles, memories, photographs and all material of historical significance. - Importance of large international collaborations among cosmic ray groups and Institutions. NMDB Project + Objectives An e-infrastructure project fosters a coordinated approach to the deployment of digital resources for the scientific community, supporting data storage, archiving, access, interpretation, interoperability and joint research activity. - The central objective of our project is the deployment of a digital repository with cosmic ray data that will be a useful tool for a broad field of scientific communities to promote cosmic ray research and its applications (space weather). To achieve this objective the existing data archives of continuous neutron monitor measurements over many years have to be pooled and a real-time database has to be developed that collects observational data in the highest time resolution from as many European neutron monitor stations as possible. - Activities of the WP6 work package: The principal objective of the present project, i.e. the establishment of easy access for a broad community to the data of neutron monitors, can only be successful if young researchers and non-specialised users can understand neutron monitor data. This requires training on fundamental aspects of cosmic rays and neutron monitors, on the impact of cosmic rays on the Earth, and on the use of the tools for data access that the present project will develop. We will develop a web-based system of training courses and public outreach activities, including user-expert interaction, in order to enable students, researchers and the general public to learn the basic principles relevant to cosmic rays and their effects on technology and human activity. Simultaneously we need a classical training course for students and young researchers to further a direct communication and interaction with experienced scientists and to intensify scientific cooperation in the field relevant to the database.

19 This can be realized on-line in the website and also organizing visits and open days in each station, providing dissemination activities, relevant for European Commission, including multimedia material (posters, press release and publications). + Neutron monitor network: importance - The neutron monitor network is one of the first infrastructure created in the IGY period which has continuously registered cosmic ray measurements and disseminated data to the scientific community. Data from neutron monitor network can be used to derive the latitude curves of the nucleonic intensity at different times. By using right coupling functions between cosmic ray component in the atmosphere and primaries of cosmic rays, the cosmic ray rigidity spectrum in the interval 2-15 GV are obtained. - Moreover, an other important aspect of the neutron monitor network is that it is a multidirectional instrument taking into account different asymptotic cone of acceptance of the stations. This allows computation of anisotropies, pitch angle distribution and the possibility to identify precursors of a cosmic ray event. - The NMDB project realize an upgrade of connection of online real data with high time resolution (e-infrastructures) in order to improve an unique structure to study solar cosmic ray modulation and effect on Earth s environment and possible relative effects generated by solar activity. +Workpackages - List, strategy and description Importance of a close cooperation to create an on-line database. Underline the architectural design of database to unify data acquisition and exploitation. +-Metadata General information of all stations as reported in the questionnaire prepared by NKUA- Athens. Link to single station sites. Space physics: Tutorials (online for high school students and young researchers) + Sun, heliosphere + Cosmic rays (solar and galactic) + Solar wind, interplanetary magnetic field and interaction with magnetosphere and Earth s environment +Gallery/Image/movies +Links +Languages +Ask an expert The tutorial lectures have to explain the complex study of Solar-Terrestrial Relationships with the aim to clarify solar origin and propagation into heliosphere of interplanetary perturbations influencing cosmic ray modulation and terrestrial environment and to define possibly model of forecast. In particular: - variations of galactic cosmic rays on different time scale and at different energies; relation with solar activity sources and interplanetary parameters.

20 - characterization of different types of perturbation in interplanetary space (high/low speed streams, shocks, flare ejecta, magnetic clouds) and connection with cosmic ray isotropic variation and anisotropy; - emission and propagation of energetic particles (SEP) recorded by satellite/spacecraft (GOES/ACE) and to the ground (GLE); - interaction of solar wind and magnetosphere. For each type of perturbation, correlation between interplanetary parameters with geomagnetic activity indices for studying different conditions forecasting intense geomagnetic storms and substorms; - available information on characteristics of a CME (speed, size, morphology, central location), recorded by coronograph LASCO on SOHO, also by STEREO spacecrafts and in the UV and soft-x on SOHO and Yohkoh; information on flares (for instance, the flares associated with CMEs are of long duration and also have associated meter wavelength Type II and, particularly, Type IV radio burst). - Space Weather and cosmic rays + Decision of items for tutorial lectures or master classes. + Decision for items to be developed at different levels of knowledge: students of different degrees, young researchers, experts (lessons, exercises, films, electronic books ). It will be useful also a selection of recommended books for users, divided by difficult levels (for high levels, see these examples: - Dorman, Lev I., Cosmic rays in the Earth s Atmosphere and Underground, Series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library, Vol. 303, 2004, XXXII, 862 p., Hardcover, ISBN: Dorman, Lev I., Cosmic ray interactions, Propagation, and Acceleration in Space Plasma, Series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library, Vol. 339, 2006, XXXIII, 847 p., Hardcover, ISBN: Bieber J.W., E.
