Status of Implementation of ICAO Space Weather Information Provision

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Meteorology Panel has developed Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPS) within the Annex 3 for the global provision of Space Weather Information and advisories. Over the past 3 years, procedures, SARPS, and supporting guidance documentation work have been completed by the Meteorology Panel in support of new Space Weather provisions. In 2017/18, the World Meteorological Organization completed audits of States wishing to become one of up to 6 ICAO-designated Space Weather Centers. The ICAO Air Navigation Commission made selections for these centers, and the ICAO Annex 3 enabling the provision of Space Weather Services became effective November, 2018. This presentation will review the current status of the ICAO Space Weather System implementation, and future work.
