R202R:  Standards, Metrics, and User Needs for Next-Generation Space Weather Programs.

Session ID#: 81247

Session Description:
The potential impacts of extreme space weather are gaining visibility worldwide and next-generation operational systems are being developed. As our understanding of the physics of near-Earth space (Geospace) events improves, that knowledge will be incorporated into the new systems. This session will address Standards, Metrics, and User Needs for next-generational operational space weather programs. Topics may include: next-generation hardware and software architectures; standards and metrics for comparing models, and for comparing data-assimilation algorithms; User needs and requirements for improved operational products.
