Affecting technological systems at a global-scale, space weather
can disrupt high-frequency radio signals, satellite-based
communications, navigational satellite positioning and timing
signals, spacecraft operations, and electric power delivery with
cascading socioeconomic effects resulting from these disruptions.
Space weather can also present an increased health risk for
astronauts, as well as aviation flight crews and passengers on
transpolar flights. In 2019, the National Academies was approached
by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the National Science
Foundation to organize a workshop that would examine the
operational and research infrastructure that supports the space
weather enterprise, including an analysis of existing and potential
future measurement gaps and opportunities for future enhancements.
This request was subsequently modified to include two workshops,
the first ("Phase I") of which occurred in two parts on June 16-17
and September 9-11, 2020. The Phase II workshop occurred on April
11-14, 2022, with sessions on agency updates, research needs, data
science, observational and modeling needs, and emerging
architectures relevant to the space weather research community and
with ties to operational needs. This publication summarizes the
presentation and discussion of that workshop. Table of Contents
