New Path for Space Weather Collaboration Among Federal Agencies

Excerpt:  “Space weather scientists at NOAA and experts across the government celebrated a new collaborative effort to improve space weather forecasts and services to mitigate impacts of space weather. The timing is critical as we approach what is already proving to be an active Solar Cycle 25. The absence of a formal interagency process for the transition of space weather research-to-operations and operations-to-research has been long recognized as a critical gap in evolving the nation’s ability to improve space weather forecasts and warnings. This agreement provides a structure through which NOAA, NASA, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Department of the Air Force (DAF) can coordinate and collaborate on space weather research-to-operations-to-research.”
