Abstract
In this study, we summarized the results of "Pre-study for the development of Polar route space radiation forecast model", funded by National Meteorological Satellite Center, Korea Meteorological Administration. We investigated the aviation space weather-related literature and the airline companies's operation manual associated with the space weather. We also identify the strengths and weaknesses of many pre-existing space radiation calculation programs, and find the potential to be improved. Until now, we don's have our own space radiation calculation program, so we need more improved space radiation calculation program which will be developed by ourselves. Currently most space radiation calculation programs cannot reflect temporary variations in the solar activities and the space weather. Here we analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of those programs, which are widely used in typical space radiation calculations. Finally to reflect the real-time space weather effects in the forecast model, we need to develop more precise forecast model. For that purpose, we suggest the following four steps: (1) at first, we have to choose the ground-based radiation dose calculation program, (2) we have to select a proper atmospheric model in aircraft altitude, (3) we combine the selected ground cosmic radiation dose calculation program and the selected atmospheric model, and finally (4)we have to reflect the real time space weather information and space weather forecast into the newly combined model.
