Part 1 of the Virtual Space Weather Modelling Centre (VSWMC) activity, undertaken through the ESA GSTP (General Support Technology Programme), has successfully developed and demonstrated distributed, coupled model architecture and methods. That, together with rapidly-advancing European modelling capabilities and growth in available data sources, makes a distributed high-performance forecasting and specification system feasible. In Part 2, the system will be expanded to include a far wider set of models of the solar corona, the interplanetary medium, the Earth’s magnetosphere, plasmasphere, radiation belts, ionosphere and thermosphere. By the end of the activity, the VSWMC system will be able to be deployed pre-operationally in the SWE Segment.
