1. Project Name
   
   Automatic extraction and analysis of events of solar-terrestrial physics
   
   
2. Motivation and Research Plan
   
   Much of data have been accumulated from various kinds of observations on the ground and in space in solar-terrestrial physics. Studies in this field have been made by picking up special events and/or spatial structures occurred in space from these enormous amount of accumulated data. Recently, as symbolized by beginning of construction of the space station, space environment has become important from practical@point of view. Now it is necessary to nowcast or forecast state of space environment by quasi-instantaneous analysis of real time data. This research subject aims to develop scheme for automatic extraction of specified events or structures in solar-terrestrial physics from long series of time sequential data and to utilize the results for statistical analysis of quasi-real time nowcasting and forecasting.
