National Academies Space Weather Operations and Research Infrastructure Workshop, Phase II; 2021-22; Washington, District of Columbia

美国国家科学院(NASEM)空间研究委员会将举办一次讲习班，讨论未来的研究议程和基础设施，以加强对空间天气现象、其起源和影响的了解。空间天气是由太阳、地球磁场和地球大气之间错综复杂的相互作用产生的。空间天气的影响不仅包括风景如画的极光，还包括对电网的不受欢迎的危险、无线电通信中断以及对包括全球定位系统卫星在内的天基资产的损害。因此，研究界、预报员、公用事业公司、卫星运营商以及国家和国际政策制定者都对空间天气的起源和影响感兴趣。空间气象业务和研究基础设施研讨会第二阶段由美国国家科学基金会和美国国家航空航天局共同主办，将于2021年下半年举行。NASEM将召集广泛、多样化的空间气象、太阳能和空间物理界人士，包括来自学术界、政府、非营利组织和商业部门的人士。讲习班期间的讨论将审查现有和预期的空间气象观测的趋势，包括利用小卫星星座、托管有效载荷、地面系统、国际合作和数据购买；审查研究和观测的现有技术和正在开发的技术；审议空间气象建模和验证方面的需求、差距和机会，包括数据同化和综合办法。NASEM将发布一份会议记录，总结研讨会的陈述和讨论，这将对研究和政策团体有用。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。

The National Academies (NASEM) Space Studies Board will hold a workshop on the future research agenda and infrastructure needed to improve understanding of space weather phenomena, their origins and impacts. Space weather is generated by intricate interactions among the Sun, Earth’s magnetic field, and Earth's atmosphere. The effects of space weather include not only picturesque auroras but also unwelcome hazard to the electrical power grid, disruption of radio communication, and damage to space-based assets including GPS satellites. Therefore, the origin and effects of space weather are of interest to the research community, forecasters, utility companies, satellite operators, and national and international policy makers. The Space Weather Operations and Research Infrastructure Workshop, Phase II is cosponsored by NSF and NASA and will be held in the latter half of 2021. NASEM will convene a broad, diverse swath of the space weather and solar and space physics communities, including those from academia, government, non-profits, and the commercial sector. Discussions during the workshop will examine trends in available and anticipated space weather observations, including the use of constellations of small satellites, hosted payloads, ground-based systems, international collaborations and data buys; review existing and developing technologies for research and observations; and consider needs, gaps, and opportunities in space weather modeling and validation, including data assimilation and ensemble approaches. NASEM will publish a proceeding summarizing the workshop presentations and discussions, which will be useful to the research and policy communities.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.
