Advancing Space Weather Forecasting Capability with CCMC Tools and Systems

For over 20+ years, the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) has been pivotal in advancing the field of space weather, providing essential tools and resources to enhance our understanding of space environments. As human exploration extends to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, the role of CCMC becomes increasingly critical in safeguarding astronauts and spacecraft from space weather hazards.

CCMC's web-based tools are at the forefront of this effort. The Integrated Space Weather Analysis (ISWA) system is a flexible Web-based dissemination system for NASA-relevant space weather information that combines predictions based on the most advanced space weather models with concurrent space environment information. For the past 15 years, the ISWA system has been used by a wide variety of users who have an interest in space weather. The Database Of Notifications, Knowledge, Information (DONKI) system captures real-time space weather analysis information from the Moon-to-Mars Space Weather Analysis Office and is publicly accessible by all users around the world. The CCMC scoreboards capture pre-arrival events forecasts from the community as a worldwide real-time validation effort to demonstrate existing model capabilities in predicting various space weather events as well as their impacts. In this presentation, we will demonstrate how various CCMC tools can be used by various users and how the CCMC can serve as a hub to continue advancing space weather capabilities for the community.
