NOAA
Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) |
The SWPC continually
monitors and forecasts Earth's space environment; provides
accurate, reliable, and useful solar-terrestrial information;
conducts and leads research and development programs to
understand the environment and to improve services; advises
policy makers and planners; plays a leadership role in
the space weather community; and fosters a space weather
services industry. |
NASA
Living With a Star (LWS) Program |
The Goal
of the LWS Program is to Understand the changing Sun
and its effects on the Solar System, Life, and Society.
There program has three elements: Science Missions containing
scacecraft to study Solar and Geospace dynamics, Targetred
Research and Technology program including yearly research
opportunities, and Space Environment Testbeds to improve
the engineering approach to accommodation / mitigation
of the effects of solar variability on spacecraft design
and operations.

NASA
LWS Targeted Research and Technology Program |
Understanding space weather and making progress on problems such as predicting geomagnetic storms pose two major challenges for the research community. First, research must couple traditionally separate disciplines in NASA's Heliophysics division (such as solar-heliospheric and geospace physics). Second, to be truly successful, research must also demonstrate how results would enable an operational capability, such as the generation of forecasts for geomagnetic storms. In order to meet these challenges, NASA has designed an innovative new program, Targeted Research and Technology (TR&T) which is part of NASA's Living With a Star program The TR&T has three major components: to build infrastructure, to develop strategic capabilities, and to address scientific needs. |

Community
Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) |
The Community
Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) is a multi-agency partnership.
The CCMC provides, to the international research community,
access to modern space science simulations. In addition,
the CCMC supports the transition to space weather operations
of modern space research models. |
International
Space Environment Service (ISES) |
A permanent
service of the Federations of Astronomical and Geophysical
Data Analysis Services. ISES was called IUWDS (International
URSIgram and World Days Service) until 1996. The ISES
mission is
to encourage and facilitate near-real-time international
monitoring and prediction of the space environment. |

Space Weather Enterprise Forum (SWEF) |
Forum to bring together members of government at all levels, the private sector, and academia, including both users and providers, to raise awareness, improve understanding, and educate all participants on opportunities, needs, and priorities. |
Center
for Integrated Space Weather Modeling (CISM) |
A National
Science Foundation (NSF) Science and Technology Center
(STC). CISM formally began operations in August 2002.
VISION:To understand our changing sun and its effects
on the solar system, life, and society. |
AGU
Space Weather Journal |
"The
International Journal of Research and Applications"
is an online publication devoted to the emerging field
of space weather and its impact on technical systems,
including telecommunications, electric power, and satellite
navigation. |
AMS Space Weather Policy Issues
|
The American
Meteorological Society (AMS) Policy Program is equipping the scientific community and policy makers to deal with many policy issues related to meteorology and climate. As the field of space weather progresses, it appears to have many commonalties with the meteorological field. Both fields consist of research and operations. Additionally, both fields consist of relationships involving multiple federal agencies, the private sector, and the international community. |
