Community Coordinated Modeling Center: Models and Applications for Space Weather Forecasting and Analysis

The Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC, http://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov) hosts a broad range of state-of-the-art space weather models developed by the international space science community. One of the CCMC goals is to pave the way for progress in space environment modeling to operational space weather forecasting. Over the years the CCMC acquired the unique experience in preparing complex models and model chains for operational environment and developing and maintaining powerful web-based systems, tools and applications ready to be used by researchers, space weather service providers and decision makers. The talk will showcase innovative solutions for space weather research, analysis, forecasting and validation and review on-going community-wide initiatives enabled by CCMC applications.
