Integrated Space Weather Observing Systems: Sun-to-Earth Coverage for Research and Operations I Posters


Session ID#: 44881

Session Description:
Talks and posters are solicited for a session that will address the issue of designing an optimal set of observing systems, both ground-based and space-based, that would enable improved understanding, forecasting, and nowcasting of space weather events. The Space Weather Action Plan of 2015 established the minimum baseline of observing systems that is needed to maintain our current space weather forecasting capability, but improvement beyond our current capability is clearly needed. Similarly, NASA missions are designed as focused science explorations of a single element in the solar-terrestrial system. This session will explore new ideas for achieving simultaneous “full-coverage" measurements throughout the Sun-Earth system that would enable better characterization, understanding, and ultimately prediction of space weather events.  Contributions are sought that would explore, for example, novel small-sat or cube-sat constellations for characterizing the near-Earth space environment, methods for measurement of the full-Sun magnetic field including the solar poles, innovative ideas for establishing CME warning stations inside of the L1 orbit, or Deep Space Gateway instruments for space weather observations. We also welcome talks from modelers and forecasters that address the requirements for measurements to improve models, products, and services.
