Space Weather Workshop 2019; Boulder, Colorado; April 1-5, 2019

该奖项将组织2019年4月1日至5日在科罗拉多州博尔德举行的2019年空间天气研讨会。这是一个为期四天的研讨会，重点关注空间天气的影响，并探讨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。近地空间环境的影响激发了复杂的响应，包括地磁风暴、极光的感应、电离层扰动和地面上产生的各种电流。对基础设施造成的影响，如卫星阻力、对空间资产中的电子元件的干扰、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。根据以往的研讨会，与会者预计将包括科学家和受空间天气影响的行业的代表，包括电力、商业航空、卫星运营和导航/通信等行业。该研讨会旨在促进学术界、工业界和政府在空间天气问题上的合作，并促进科学、技术、经济、政策和安全社区之间的积极论坛。组织委员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以及学生代表组成。组织委员会负责根据其优点、教育事业目标和对整个会议经验的潜在贡献，确定和招募研讨会的演讲者。研讨会的结构围绕全体会议、海报会议和圆桌讨论。鼓励本科生和研究生参加并在研讨会上展示海报。为研讨会建立了一个网站https://www.cpaess.ucar.edu/events/space-weather-workshop，用于处理会议后勤、注册和协调多媒体活动。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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 award is to organize the 2019 Space Weather Workshop held April 1-5, 2019 in Boulder, 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.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.
