| NSWP
User Input Questionnaire
The
United States National Space Weather Program (NSWP)
began ten years ago as a collaborative enterprise between
the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the Department
of Defense (DoD). The NSWP has operated under the
auspices of the Office of the Federal Coordinator
for Meteorology (OFCM) and is based upon a Strategic
Plan and an Implementation Plan
which can be found at the following website: http://www.nswp.gov/nswp_docs.htm.
The
OFCM, in conjunction with its Committee for Space
Weather is now supporting a decadal review of the
NSWP. This review is to quantify and document the progress
toward meeting program goals. An Assessment
Committee*, comprised of researchers with meteorological,
space physics, astrophysics, and policy backgrounds is gathering
input from the broad communities in the United States involved
in space weather research and applications, including
operations. The assessment committee will perform
a comprehensive review, which it can best achieve with very
strong community participation. All those interested
in the NSWP are strongly encouraged to comment on successes,
shortfalls, and possible future directions of the program.
Brief or extended comments are most welcome for the following
questions:
1. What
is your primary professional activity or interest as they
relate to space weather?
