Space Weather Workshop 2018; Westminster, Colorado; April 16-20, 2018

这笔赠款将于2018年4月16日至20日在科罗拉多威斯敏斯特的威斯汀威斯敏斯特酒店举办2018年空间天气研讨会。 这是一个为期四天的讲习班，重点讨论空间气象的影响，并探讨预测和预报方面的最新科学进展。空间天气起源于太阳，太阳不断地发射物质和电磁波。近地空间环境中的撞击会激发复杂的反应，包括磁暴、极光感应、电离层扰动，并在地面上感应出各种电流。由此对基础设施产生的影响，如卫星阻力、空间资产中电子部件的中断、电网中的感应电流以及讲习班上将讨论的许多其他影响。预计与会者（根据以往的讲习班）将包括科学家和受空间气象影响的行业的代表，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协作，并推动在科学、技术、经济、政策和安全界之间建立一个活跃的论坛。组织委员会由来自联邦机构的代表、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。 组织委员会负责根据能力素质、教育职业目标和对整个会议经验的潜在贡献，为讲习班确定和招聘发言人。研讨会围绕全体会议，海报会议和圆桌讨论会进行。鼓励本科生和研究生参加并在研讨会上展示海报。讲习班的网站www.example.com已经建立，用于处理会议后勤、登记和协调多媒体活动。2018年空间天气研讨会由几个不同机构的感兴趣的单位共同赞助，包括NOAA空间天气预报中心，NASA太阳物理部和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。

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.
