Space Weather Leads Meet ISWAT: Top-Down/Bottom-Up Alignment - flowing into the reception with International Evening Panel Lively Discussion.
With the near-completion of the COSPAR Space Weather Roadmap, the global community of researchers who contributed to the ISWAT activities over the past several years is now working to implement many of the high-priority recommended actions. Executing recommendations from the Roadmap is a primary focus of many Action Teams. Goals of bottom-up ISWAT initiative include efforts multiplying and maximising return on investments by national space weather programs. This special plenary session will include short talks by agencies’ and operational centres’ representatives and space weather program leads on their feedback on ISWAT activities and Roadmap recommendations, guidance on how ISWAT can facilitate achieving national space weather implementation plans’ goals, recommendations from national strategic planning documents (including recently published heliophysics decadal survey), and their views on top-down/bottom-up alignment(s).
Presenters and Panellists:
Mario Bisi (summarise without slides for the UK and Europe)
Jamie Favors (NASA Space Weather Program),
Alex Fletcher (NASA, Orbital Debris and Space Situational Awareness Program),
Todd Blum (US Space Force),
Bill Murtagh (NOAA/SWPC),
Jim Spann (NOAA/NESDIS),
International Agency Space Weather Coordination Group, Jim Spann
Junghee Cho (Korean Space Weather Center, South Korea).
Questions:
- How can the bottom-up ISWAT initiative aid in fulfilling the goals of your programme/organisation and your future plans? (to be answered on the final slide)
- What can you do to encourage increased involvement for the ISWAT initiative from those you are able to fund and/or interact with across the field of space weather?
- (Optional extra as needed) International coordination across space weather comes up many times; in your view, what do we really need to do to facilitate further improvements in key areas of space-weather international collaborations, and what are these key areas?
