LOFAR4SW Science Requirements Workshop
Observatoire de Paris, Meudon, 2018 May 2-4
The aim of the workshop is to gather community-wide inputs in the use of LOFAR technology for future dedicated space-weather science, monitoring, and forecasting capabilities so as to set clear science requirements on the design study. The outcome of the workshop will be a list of ipotential science use cases, and the desired system characteristics of an upgraded LOFAR4SW system capable of a varied set of 24/7 space-weather observations covering Sun to ionosphere, as well as other related areas of relevance.
