Opportunities for Open Research-to-Operations-to-Research Pipelines to Improve Operational Space Weather Forecasting.

Improving space weather forecasting capabilities is a global challenge that requires collaboration and coordination. The presentation will overview on-going collaborative efforts to demonstrate potential of latest research findings, new models and new data to improve current space weather predictive capabilities. Community-wide ensemble forecasts, frequently referred to as Scoreboards, with front end displays tailored for specific user groups are key elements of open research to operations pipelines. We will discuss efforts at the Community Coordinated Modeling Center to facilitate transition of deliverables from NASA model development programs. The presentation will discuss opportunities for open incorporation of new findings into existing operational systems as well as collaborative development of next generation operational capabilities.
