Popis: The Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S) is a mission aiming at exploring solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), solar magnetic field and their relationships. To fulfill its major scientific objectives, ASO-S has three elaborately-designed payloads onboard: the Full-disk vector MagnetoGraph (FMG), the Lyman-alpha Solar Telescope (LST), and the Hard X-ray Imager (HXI) dedicated to observe vector magnetic fields, CMEs, and flares, respectively. Beside the scientific objectives, we have an operational objective to observe solar eruptions and magnetic field for making related space weather forecasts. More specifically, we have set a priority for the downlink of CME data observed by LST, and will distribute those data to different space weather prediction centers in China within 2 h once the Science Operation and Data Center (SODC) of ASO-S receive the data. After data downlink and archiving, different automatic detection, tracking, and cataloging procedures are planned to run for the most critical solar eruptive features. On the other hand, based on the distributed and downloaded data, different space weather prediction centers are to activate their forecast systems for the ASO-S observed solar eruption events. Our particular interests are currently focused on nowcast of different eruption events, prediction of CME arrivals, forecast of solar flares and the onset of solar eruptions. We are also working on further forecast potentials using the ASO-S data to make contributions to other possible important issues of space weather.
