This grant is to organize the 2018 Space Weather Workshop held April 16-20, 2018 at the Westin Westminster Hotel in Westminster, Colorado. This is a four-day workshop that focuses on the impacts of space weather and explores recent scientific advances in predicting and forecasting. Space weather originates at the sun, which is constantly emitting material and electromagnetic waves. Impacts in the near-Earth space environment stimulates a complex response including geomagnetic storms, induction of the aurorae, ionospheric disturbances, and a variety currents are induced on the ground. There are resulting impacts to infrastructure such as satellite drag, disruptions to electronic components in space assets, induced currents in the power grid, and many others which will be discussed at the workshop. The participants are expected to be (based on past workshops) a mixture of scientists, and representatives from industries impacted by space weather, including those from electric power, commercial airlines, satellite operations, and navigation/ communication. The workshop is intended to foster collaboration across academia, industry and government on space weather issues, and promote an active forum among science, technology, economic, policy and security communities. The organizing committee is comprised of representatives from federal agencies, knowledgeable experts from the academic community and from the private sector, and includes student representatives. The organizing committee is responsible for identifying and recruiting speakers for workshop sessions on the basis of qualities of merit, educational career objectives, and potential contribution to the overall conference experience. The workshop is structured around plenary sessions, poster sessions, and a roundtable discussion. Undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to participate and present posters at the workshop. A website for the workshop has been created at https://www.cpaess.ucar.edu/events/space-weather-workshop for handling meeting logistics, registration, and coordinating multimedia activities. Space Weather Workshop 2018 is co-sponsored by interested units in several different agencies, including the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, NASA Heliophysics Division, and the NSF Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Science.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.

这笔赠款是为了组织2018年4月16日至20日在科罗拉多州威斯敏斯特的威斯汀威斯敏斯特酒店举行的2018年空间天气研讨会。这是一个为期四天的讲习班，重点是空间天气的影响，并探索预测和预报方面的最新科学进展。太空天气起源于太阳，太阳不断地发射物质和电磁波。近地空间环境中的撞击刺激了复杂的反应，包括地磁暴、极光感应、电离层扰动，并在地面上感应出各种电流。由此产生的对基础设施的影响，如卫星拖曳、空间资产中电子元件的中断、电网中的感应电流，以及将在研讨会上讨论的许多其他问题。预计与会者将(根据过去的研讨会)混合来自受空间天气影响的行业的科学家和代表，包括电力、商业航空公司、卫星运营和导航/通信行业的代表。该讲习班旨在促进学术界、工业界和政府在空间气象问题上的合作，并促进科学、技术、经济、政策和安全界之间的一个积极论坛。组委会由来自联邦机构的代表、来自学术界和私营部门的知识渊博的专家组成，并包括学生代表。组委会负责根据优秀素质、教育职业目标和对整体会议经验的潜在贡献来确定和招募研讨会的发言者。研讨会围绕全体会议、海报会议和圆桌讨论展开。鼓励本科生和研究生参加并在工作坊上展示海报。研讨会的网站已在https://www.cpaess.ucar.edu/events/space-weather-workshop上创建，用于处理会议后勤、注册和协调多媒体活动。2018年空间天气研讨会是由几个不同机构的感兴趣单位共同主办的，包括NOAA空间天气预测中心、NASA太阳物理学部门以及NSF大气和地球空间科学部。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
