Solar Wind Data and Display Changes
published: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 21:35 UTC
What Changed?
Following successful introduction of both SOLAR-1 solar wind data and the new solar wind display into operations, the ingest and processing of DSCOVR data has been stopped and the legacy RTSW plot has been removed. The tracking plot for DSCOVR has also been removed with no replacement for SOLAR-1 or IMAP.
What is New?
Users will utilize the new solar wind display found at spaceweather.gov/products/solar-wind with the ingest of SOLAR-1 data. SOLAR-1 now serves as the primary solar wind source with ACE as our backup until IMAP I-ALiRT has 24/7 coverage.
