Nathan Miles, algorithms for near-real-time images of Sun's corona

Nathan Miles developed operational algorithms for a first-of-its-kind instrument at the Space Weather Prediction Center to produce near-real-time images of the Sun's corona, which are critical in space forecasting. Images from other instruments are typically received hours later, but this instrument produces images every 15 minutes and Nathan has reduced the processing time for these images to under two minutes. This is a game-changer for space weather forecasters. These images will be used by space weather forecasters and researchers around the world for decades to come.
