Fall AGU – SH021: Space Weather Forecasting: Science and Operations

Dear All.

We ask for contributed abstracts to our SH (Solar and Heliosphere) space-weather science, forecasting, and operations session at the upcoming Fall AGU in San Francisco, 14-18 December 2015. Abstract submission deadline is 05 August 2015 at 11:59 P.M. EDT / 06 August 2015 at 04:59UT.

Full session details are below. To submit, the first author must be the submitting author and must be an AGU member (before 24 July 2015). First authors are allowed to submit one contributed abstract, or one contributed abstract and one invited abstract, or two invited abstracts to the science sessions.

To submit your abstract, please go here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm15/sh/papers/index.cgi?sessionid=7566

Invited abstracts to be announced in due course.

Best wishes,

Mario.

Session ID#: 7566

Session Description:

Human technologies/industries are becoming more reliant on regular, uninterrupted energy supplies. They are at high risk from extreme space weather. However, such technologies/industries are also susceptible to a lesser extent by ‘everyday’ space weather (SW) that occurs at Earth during moderate-to-intense geomagnetic storms (often caused by CMEs, but sometimes by solar-wind structure). Susceptibilities include power grids, airlines, communications, GNSS, etc.

The session intends to assess the state-of-the-art global SW forecasting capabilities and establish where improvements/additional services are necessary to advance our forecast/prediction of potential SW incoming to Earth.

This session solicits contributions of: ongoing developments of SW forecasting services/models; the provision of observational data/measurements from instruments/spacecraft; and pulling through of scientific models into operational use. Contributions emphasising science from SW operational missions (e.g. GOES, DSCOVR, NOAA-2020, etc.) including those highlighting data/model gaps and that identify steps needed to further improve or keep existing SW forecasting services viable, are also highly welcomed.
