Community Coordinated Modeling Center: Models & Applications tailored for End User Needs

The Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC, http://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov) was founded at the dawn of the millennium as a long-term and flexible solution to the Research-to-Operations (R2O) transition problem. The unique and expanding collection of space weather models hosted by CCMC covers the entire domain from the solar corona to the earth's upper atmosphere. Over the years the CCMC acquired the unique experience in testing and validating complex models and model chains and preparing them for operational environment. The CCMC also develops custom displays and highly tailored products to address specific needs of end users. The talk will showcase innovative solutions to address a broad range of end-user needs with focus on tools that provide past, present, and predicted space environment information for specific NASA missions, orbits, and user-specified locations throughout the heliosphere and geospace.
