Session - Transitioning space weather research to operations: learning from the NWP experience
David Jackson, Suzy Bingham, Mauro Messerotti
Operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) systems have a long heritage, and the process of applying research in observations, modelling, data assimilation and verification to continually improve these operational systems is well understood. By contrast, although there is also a long heritage of space weather research, operational space weather prediction is in its infancy. There is considerable scope to identify and integrate best practices from operational NWP systems into operational space weather systems. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of this topic, including for example: - real time acquisition of observations and adaptation of research-focused instruments to operational use - robustness, reliability and testing of space weather prediction models - data assimilation methods for space weather prediction - skill scores and near real time verification - system resilience (eg backup data streams, 24/7 operations) - the role of
the WMO and other meteorological bodies in developing operational space weather systems.
