@LynkerSpace will see you at #AMS2025

Come say hello in the exhibit hall, poster sessions and at the Space Weather conference!

[Scott McIntosh @swmcintosh]

@SolarEvidence @LynkerSpace @NWSSWPC 10 years in the making [we've been on the job less than a year]

[Scott McIntosh @swmcintosh]

Our @LynkerSpace team has just redirected https://t.co/rKwxVNHlZe successfully to https://t.co/XttevxYGEN - congratulations @NWSSWPC - next is the evolution of the website!

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

I am so excited to share that SOLAR-1 has finally completed its provisional testing and has been cleared by NOAA NESDIS for release! SWPC will begin publishing the real-time solar wind data along with IMAP data TODAY!

There is still one more thing to workout for CCOR-2, but that will be coming soon!

I can't say enough what a freakin honor it has been to work with the NOAA wide SOLAR-1 teams the past few months to get everything ready to go for everyone. Seeing the test and validation work put in and how it compares to ACE and DSCOVR is truly incredible. 🥹

Stay tuned for more details!

We'll make sure of that. The team @LynkerSpace is going to attack this problem in the fall :-( wish we had the resources to have ALREADY done it!!

[Scott McIntosh @swmcintosh]

@JAtanackov This one @JAtanackov ;-) big activity shift coming very soon! @LynkerSpace

[Scott McIntosh @swmcintosh]

Thanks @chrisoutofspace - just revisiting your collection of forecasts... especially this absolute banger!! #SpaceWeather #SunspotCycle25 @lynkerspace

Want to make a forecast for #SunspotCycle26??

[Scott McIntosh @swmcintosh]

However, there’s more to it than timing max and estimating when it’ll occur. We (@swmcintosh, @leamonrj and @rickyegeland) have NAILED the ENTIRE shape. That insight allows us to forecast ACCURATELY a whole host of solar proxies and solar driven quantities that affect the space environment around us!!!

[Scott McIntosh @swmcintosh]

If you could forecast a physical quantity with 0.74 'skill' (mean-squared standard error) over > 4 years how would you classify it? @leamonrj @rickyegeland @LynkerSpace @HaleSWx

[ps - the fun is not contained to just one quantity but pretty much all of those that define the space environment]

It’s that time of the #SolarCycle…… @LynkerSpace

What do launch weather officers and mission control care about most on the space weather side for launch?

While there are many roles space weather can play in a launch, the biggest space weather concern, crewed or not, is the impact of energetic particles and possible degradation to communications with the rocket/spacecraft.

[Lynker Space @LynkerSpace]

@SNHWx Sara, can you elaborate on what Space Weather parameters warrant watching for launch considerations?

[☀️ Sara Housseal ☀️ @SNHWx]

Today's forecast has launched! 🚀 @LynkerSpace

As of right now, with a little over 6 hours until the launch window opens, space weather is still a go for launch.🤞

Anyone that is interested in pursuing the aurora borealis northern lights should subscribe. People who post are always willing to answer your questions, and in my opinion a usually very good explanation. The site is very well moderated hence a very good site for information about the Sun no off topic garbage. There a multiple categories that peeks one's interest not matter what you are looking for. Give it a go you will not be dissapointed.

[Lynker Space @LynkerSpace]

@theauroraguy @randymilanovic @swmcintosh And we thank you for that!

[Lynker Space @LynkerSpace]

Want somewhere to routinely talk about Space Weather? We have a Discord server of 200+ folks ranging from those curious about learning the basics, enthusiasts, and Space Weather experts.

Come hangout/enjoy the rest of Solar Cycle 25 with us! @swmcintosh

@theauroraguy @swmcintosh Thank you, Harlan!

[Lynker Space @LynkerSpace]

His words, not ours! 😇

[Harlan Thomas @theauroraguy]

@LynkerSpace @swmcintosh Definitely one of the best sites for aurora related information, and people are really polite!

[☀️ Sara Housseal ☀️ @SNHWx]

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Is the gold at the end of the rainbow going to be in the form of a major (G2) geomagnetic storm? 🌈 @LynkerSpace
