Session 15 Space Weather Service Developments for the Aviation Community

Thursday, 1 February 2024: 1:45 PM-3:00 PM
Key 11 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)
Host: 21st Conference on Space Weather
Cochairs:
Samantha Jeanne Watson and Eric Adamson, NOAA, SWPC, Boulder, CO

The Global Aviation Space Weather Community relies on a plethora of technologies to safely navigate the National Air Space. Unfortunately, these tools can be unreliable or even unavailable during strong space weather events. Forecasts and advisories/warnings permit the avoidance and mitigation of harmful effects to aircraft, crew, passengers, and onboard technology. To improve the forecasts and advisories being released, measurements need to be made, models must be validated, training should be enhanced, and collaboration with international partners must continue, among other beneficial enhancements. This session will invite presentations regarding increased data collection, improved technologies, advisory adjustments and publications, space weather aviation-focused training, and international carrier perspectives on space weather impacts.
