This project will support activities to organize and hold an annual Boulder Space Weather Summer School. The summer school will bring up to thirty students to Boulder, Colorado for two weeks and immerse them in class room teaching covering fundamental science of the Sun-Earth system and the socioeconomic impacts of space weather, with a particular emphasis on modeling and forecasting. Space weather events can adversely impact our nation's economy and national security by degrading satellite-based services such as high frequency (HF) communication, global positioning system (GPS) position and navigation. To monitor space weather, a new generation of workforce is needed that is highly trained in the fundamental physics of the geospace environment and is equally adept at using various numerical models and observational tools. The summer school will train a new generation of solar and space scientists, space weather forecasters, and engineers and operators of system that are impacted by space weather events. This activity will organize the Boulder Space Weather Summer school for three years to train a new generation of solar and space scientists, forecasters, and engineers. The school will enable students to interact with expert lecturers and engage them in interactive learning activities that are designed to promote both conceptual understanding and practical skills relevant to space weather. The school will also develop improved metrics and assessment procedures to better evaluate the School's impact and to better track and promote diversity. The proposed activity also includes outreach activities to engage more students from under-represented demographics in space weather research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目将支持组织和举办年度博尔德空间气象暑期学校的活动。暑期学校将把多达30名学生带到科罗拉多的博尔德，为期两周，让他们沉浸在课堂教学中，涵盖太阳-地球系统的基础科学和空间天气的社会经济影响，特别强调建模和预测。空间气象事件会降低高频通信、全球定位系统定位和导航等卫星服务的质量，从而对我国的经济和国家安全产生不利影响。为了监测空间气象，需要新一代的劳动力，他们在地球空间环境的基础物理学方面受过高度培训，并且同样善于使用各种数值模型和观测工具。暑期学校将培训新一代太阳和空间科学家，空间天气预报员以及受空间天气事件影响的系统工程师和操作员。这项活动将组织博尔德空间天气暑期学校三年，以培养新一代的太阳和空间科学家，预报员和工程师。该学院将使学生能够与专家讲师进行互动，并使他们参与旨在促进与空间气象有关的概念理解和实用技能的互动式学习活动。学校还将制定改进的指标和评估程序，以更好地评估学校的影响，更好地跟踪和促进多样性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
