Operational space weather data are continuously collected and publicly distributed by various agencies worldwide to support real-time monitoring of the Sun–Earth system. These datasets—spanning solar, solar wind, and geospace —provide a rich, continuous record that underpins forecasting capabilities and enables a wide range of discovery science investigations. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has provided critical space-based environmental data for over five decades. Collectively, operational space weather missions form a system-level view of solar and geomagnetic activity and their impacts on the geospace environment. Additionally, ground-based operational space weather observations enable real-time monitoring and scientific investigations. This session invites studies that highlight the use of operational space weather datasets for advancing scientific research. Topics may include solar wind & plasma physics, solar activity & solar cycle research, magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling, satellite environment & spacecraft anomalies, data-driven modeling & Machine Learning, and future strategies for leveraging operational data for scientific advances.
