The potential impacts of extreme space weather are gaining visibility worldwide and next-generation operational systems are being developed. As our understanding of the physics of near-Earth space (Geospace) events improves, that knowledge will be incorporated into the new systems. This session will address Standards, Metrics, and User needs for next-generational operational space weather, Research-to-Operations and Operations-to-Research (R2O2R) programs. Topics may include: next-generation hardware and software architectures; standards and metrics for comparing models, and for comparing data-assimilation algorithms; User needs and requirements for improved operational products.
