Scientific paper

Five years ago, the NASA Living with a Star program funded a group of Virtual Observatories intended to “integrate data and models across many missions, data centers, agencies and countries”. Each observatory was designed to meet the unique needs of specific heliophysics research communities. One of the observatories funded under this program, that will be the main focus of this presentation, was the Virtual Radiation Belt Observatory. This observatory was to accelerate science and modeling by helping scientists overcome research challenges such as the lack of publicly available observational and model data, data inter-calibration differences, and limited access to common analysis tools. The research advancements were expected to feed-back into better models that ultimately would benefit space weather users such as satellite operators and designers. Using ViRBO as the main example, this presentation will demonstrate how the virtual observatories have benefited the space weather community and identify areas for possible improvement. We review the initial vision for the observatories, present their current implementation, and provide example cases describing how the observatories have been successfully used.
