Space Weather Workshop 2012; Boulder, CO; April 24-27, 2012

太空天气研讨会是一个一年一度的会议，它将工业界、学术界和政府机构聚集在一起，就太空天气进行生动的对话。该研讨会已发展成为有关空间天气所有问题的全国主要会议。这项活动的智力价值对于提高空间天气研究界的知识、理解和需求至关重要。讲习班讨论了空间天气对当今技术的各种影响。该计划强调了空间天气对几个领域的影响，包括通信、导航、航天器操作、航空和电力。在空间天气研讨会上的演讲和讨论还侧重于确定可以指导未来研究的业务服务的最高优先需求，并确定可以过渡到作战的新的高价值能力。会议促进了研究人员、空间天气服务提供商和空间天气服务用户之间的交流。该研讨会将有助于建立产生可操作信息的机制，以推动改进空间天气科学、产品、服务和应用，为广泛的用户群体服务。该研讨会还促进协调的机构间空间天气教育和推广方法，这将使政策和决策者获得更好的信息，为研究、业务改进和更好的国家服务提供更多支持。

The Space Weather Workshop is an annual conference that brings industry, academia, and government agencies together in a lively dialog about space weather. This workshop has evolved into the Nation's leading conference on all issues relating to space weather. The intellectual merit of the activity is critical to the advancement of knowledge, understanding and needs of the space weather research community. The workshop addresses the diverse impacts of space weather on today's technology. The program highlights space weather impacts in several areas, including communications, navigations, spacecraft operations, aviation, and electric power. The presentations and discussions at the Space Weather Workshop also focus on identifying the highest priority needs for operational services that can guide future research and identifying new high-value capabilities that can be transitioned into operations. The conference fosters communication among researchers, space weather service providers, and users of space weather services. The workshop will help develop mechanisms to generate actionable information to drive improved space weather science, products, services and application to serve a broad user community. The workshop also fosters coordinated interagency approaches to space weather education and outreach that will lead to better informed policy and decision makers yielding more support for research, operational improvements, and better service to the Nation.
