Abstract
From the beginning of this year a new data analysis center [Athens Neutron Monitor Data Processing (ANMODAP) Center] is operated in Athens University producing a real-time prediction of space weather phenomena. At this moment there has been a multi-sided use of twenty-three neutron monitors providing real-time data on the Internet. Moreover, interplanetary space parameters data from Geostationary Orbiting Environmental Satellite and Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) satellite are also collected in this center. The ANMODAP Center in real-time is of high potential interest, as it is expected to give alerts for ground level enhancements (GLEs) of solar cosmic rays (CRs) and geomagnetic storms and therefore to provide crucial information for Space Weather applications. Forecasting of the last GLE and the geomagnetic variations of CRs on January 2005, is presented.Keywords
