Space Weather Roundtable
The Space Weather Roundtable convenes senior managers, decision makers, and scientists from government, the commercial space weather industry, and universities to discuss activities that will facilitate advances in the scientific understanding of space weather phenomena, the impacts of space weather, and the forecast of space weather events.
In progress
Any project, supported or not by a committee, that is currently being worked on or is considered active, and will have an end date.
Description
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will establish the Space Weather Roundtable (referred to in Public Law No. 116-181 as the "Government-University-Commercial Roundtable on Space Weather") to facilitate communication and knowledge transfer among Government participants in the Space Weather Operations, Research, and Mitigation (SWORM) Interagency Working Group, the academic community, and the commercial space weather sector. The Space Weather Roundtable will discuss activities that will facilitate advances in space weather forecasting; increase coordination of space weather research-to-operations and operations-to-research; and improve preparedness for space weather events.
Space Weather Roundtable meetings will engage experts and stakeholders across disciplines and sectors, with a focus initially on those issues identified in the National Space Weather Strategy and Action Plan (NSWSAP) and the Promoting Research and Observations of Space Weather to Improve the Forecasting of Tomorrow Act (the “PROSWIFT Act”) that would benefit from greater engagement. Examples include space weather benchmarks and scales, communication of risk, steps to improve research to operations and operations to research pathways, commercial space weather data buys, and resilience to severe space weather events.
