There is a problem of setting criteria of space weather forecast quality that allows estimation of the economic effectiveness of forecasts in comparison with other methods for real users.
The quantitative understanding of high-energy particle dynamics in the inner magnetosphere also contributes to improvement of space weather forecast for practical use of geospace, because the existence of high-energy particles is one of the major causes of spacecraft anomalies (e.g., Baker 2000).
The development of a space weather forecast scheme is a test of our physical understanding of solar-terrestrial relationships.
In this presentation, an overview of current space weather forecast operations and a system for information outreach in Japan will be presented.
Estimates of the geomagnetic indices made with real-time solar wind measurements form the basis of many space weather forecast techniques.
The development of space weather forecasting capabilities is a task of great societal relevance: space weather effects may damage a number of technological assets, among which power and communication lines, transformers, pipelines and the telecommunication infrastructure.
Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is a major solar activity that affects the earth, thus CMEs detection is of great importance for space weather forecast, disaster prevention and reduction.
The goal of space weather forecasting is to provide an opportunity to mitigate these negative effects.
The Mexican Array Radio Telescope (MEXART) applies the Interplanetary Scintillation (IPS) technique to detect these solar wind disturbances and it will participate in a global warning network of space weather forecasting.
In space sense, the forecasting of rockburst mainly includes regional forecast, local forecast, and point forecast.
