This year's Space Weather Week conference will be held May 19-22, 2003 (Monday through Thursday noon) in Boulder, CO. The meeting will focus on recent solar and geomagnetic activity and will cover specific space weather impacts and our scientific understanding of this activity. The conference program will highlight recent space weather impacts in several areas of the environment, including ionospheric disturbances, satellite drag, auroral currents, geomagnetic storms and their solar drivers, radiationbelts, and solar energetic particles. We anticipate that representatives from industries impacted by space weather will attend, including those from electric power, commercial airlines, satellite operations, navigation, and communications, as well as vendors serving these industries.
Users will have the opportunity to describe the many effects that result from space weather activity, researchers will have the opportunity to discuss relevant research in many areas of the environment, and SEC will present recent data and service enhancements.
Discussions among researchers, users, and SEC staff will be open and plentiful. There will be one full afternoon for posters. Speakers from the national and European programs in space weather will review current programs. Space weather impacts are mainly in these areas:
Space Weather Week 2003 is co-sponsored by the NOAA Space Environment Center, the Air Force Research Laboratory, the NSF Division of Atmospheric Science, and the NASA Sun-Earth Connection Program,. Limited funding will be available to support student participation. Contact Terry Onsager (Terry.Onsager@noaa.gov) for more information.
The conference will be held in Boulder at the Millenium Hotel, 1345 28th Street Boulder, CO 80302.
Presentations and demonstrations by researchers as well as vendors, government agencies, and industry organizations are all welcome. Posters of research models as well as new or improved data streams that support space weather activities are encouraged. To foster the goals of the Research-to-Operations workshop, it is suggested that presenters of posters on research models consider the following points: posters on research models should provide an overview of the model; model input; model output; issues related to making it available for space weather operations; and how the model may support customer needs currently, in the near term, and in the far term. For data posters, the posters should include a description of the data set that will be available, how and where the measurements are made, and suggestions for how the data might be used to support space weather activities. In addition to posters, we invite videos of models and new data streams or techniques to view data and model output that are relevant to space weather activities.
Poster and video abstracts may be submitted either when you register (by following the links on the registration page), or after registering by selecting the poster and video submission link and then selecting 'Details' next to your name on the list of registered participants.
The available area for posters on the poster boards is 4 feet by 4 feet. All posters can be on display in the Millennium Room and Century Room from Monday morning through Wednesday afternoon. The posters are arranged in the rooms by major topic area and by poster number. Each poster will be assigned a number. Authors are asked to place their poster at the assigned location.
Each poster is included in one of four poster sessions. Authors are encouraged to be in attendance at their poster on the specified day of their session.
| Monday: | Space Weather Operations and Education |
| Ionosphere and Thermosphere | |
| Tuesday: | Magnetosphere |
| Wednesday: | Solar and Interplanetary |
