A major objective of National Space Weather Program (NSWP) is to transfer the techniques and knowledge from scientific research to the operational forecasting activities and to improve present capabilities in forecasting and specifying conditions in the space environment. This project will advance current prediction models to make quantitative real-time forecasts and specifications of the Earth's electron radiation belts from L=3 to L=8. A radial diffusion model has been developed and has achieved great success in predicting the electron enhancements at geosynchronous orbit. However, the current model has only limited application because the model only produces daily averaged electron fluxes at geosynchronous orbit. This project will enhance the model to make high time resolution (1 hour) forecasts of energetic electron fluxes up to 48 hours in advance. It will also provide specifications of the radiation belt electrons from L=3 to L=8 for different local times. It will also examine the effectiveness of radial transport in accelerating electrons. The work will be mostly carried out by a graduate student under the supervision of the principal investigator. The forecast and specification results will be posted and archived on the web to be accessible to the public and the website will be made interactive to allow interested researchers and industrial partners to acquire the results at specified times and locations.

国家空间天气计划（NSWP）的一个主要目标是将科学研究的技术和知识转移到业务预报活动中，并提高现有的预报和确定空间环境条件的能力。该项目将改进现有的预测模型，对L=3至L=8的地球电子辐射带进行定量实时预测和规范。径向扩散模型已经开发出来，并在预测地球同步轨道上的电子增强方面取得了巨大成功。然而，当前模型的应用有限，因为该模型仅产生地球同步轨道上的每日平均电子通量。该项目将增强模型，最多提前 48 小时对高能电子通量进行高时间分辨率（1 小时）预测。它还将提供不同当地时间的辐射带电子从L=3到L=8的规格。它还将检查径向传输在加速电子方面的有效性。这项工作主要由研究生在首席研究员的监督下完成。预测和规范结果将在网络上发布和存档，以供公众访问，并且该网站将具有互动性，以便感兴趣的研究人员和工业合作伙伴能够在指定时间和地点获取结果。
