1. CGMS-42-WP-21, 28 April 2014 Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites - CGMS Slide: 1 Main outcomes of the Ad-hoc Meeting on Space Weather CGMS-42, Plenary, agenda item H.1 Slide: 1

2. CGMS-42-WP-21, 28 April 2014 Slide: 2 Participants CMA JMA KARI KMA NASA (remotely) NICT (with JMA) NOAA ROSCOSMOS WMO CGMS Secretariat Chair: Suzanne Hilding (NOAA) Rapporteur: Jérôme Lafeuille (WMO)

3. CGMS-42-WP-21, 28 April 2014 Points discussed Actions from CGMS-41 Space weather activities by CGMS Members (NASA, KMA, NOAA, CMA) and associated organizations (NICT) Spacecraft anomalies due to space weather events Space weather observation requirements from WMO Terms of Reference of CGMS space weather activities Way forward for space weather in CGMS

4. CGMS-42-WP-21, 28 April 2014 Spacecraft anomaly reporting Following CGMS-41 (Action 41.15) CMA, EUMETSAT, JMA, KMA, NASA, have nominated PoCs for the procedure for spacecraft anomaly reporting Members to complete/update nomination of PoC until Sept.2014 Joint work to be initiated with WMO/ICTSW space weather centres The procedure for reporting on spacecraft anomalies will take into account the guidance from the adhoc meeting regarding content of information to be shared, frequency of reporting, practicality of information collection, and use of this information.

5. CGMS-42-WP-21, 28 April 2014 Proposed ToR for CGMS Space Weather activities (1) Background Space Weather (SW) impact on spacecraft SW sensors aboard satellites of CGMS Members – space environment monitors, solar imagers, GNSS RO sensors Space Weather is an activity of the WMO Space Programme WMO EC highlighted the need of coordination of satellite- based solar, solar wind and other SW measurements No global coordination of SW space-based observation constellation HLPP “Establish a coordinated approach to monitoring of SW and reporting of SW related spacecraft anomalies” CGMS-41 agreed to develop ToR for CGMS SW activities.

6. CGMS-42-WP-21, 28 April 2014 Proposed ToRs for CGMS Space Weather activities (2) CGMS objectives for Space Weather The overarching goal of CGMS Space Weather activities is to support the continuity and integration of space-based observing capabilities for operational Space Weather products and services. This includes: 1.Keeping abreast of major user interests for operational Space Weather products and services (e.g. for spacecraft operations, aviation, energy, disaster management) and the related requirements for space-based observations that can be addressed by CGMS Members, in particular those space weather requirements expressed by WMO[1]; 2.Evaluating existing operational space weather products and services in support of spacecraft operations, and recommending additional services as appropriate; [1] Currently ICTSW, established by CBS and CAeM

7. CGMS-42-WP-21, 28 April 2014 Proposed ToRs for CGMS Space Weather activities (3) 3.Encouraging Space Weather monitoring missions either through dedicated satellites or through hosting space weather payloads aboard weather and climate monitoring satellites as technically appropriate; 4.Supporting when relevant the dual use of sensors such as GNSS radio-occultation receivers that provide essential information for weather/climate monitoring and ionosphere monitoring; 5.Fostering orbit coordination, on-orbit sensor calibration and harmonization of operational Space Weather sensors and data formats with a view to ensure interoperability and data consistency;

8. CGMS-42-WP-21, 28 April 2014 Proposed ToRs for CGMS Space Weather activities (4) 6.Reporting on spacecraft anomalies and sharing the results of anomaly resolution and analyses; 7.Pursuing global coordination of the operational Space Weather observing constellation, with a view to help to sustain future observing capabilities as CGMS has done successfully for terrestrial weather and climate observations, encouraging complementarity, compatibility and possible mutual back-up in the event of system failure through cooperative mission planning; 8.Communicating on socio-economic benefits of space weather prediction with policy makers, public, non technical community.

9. CGMS-42-WP-21, 28 April 2014 Proposed ToRs for CGMS Space Weather activities (5) In pursuing these objectives, CGMS recognizes the complementary roles of the activities of its members and other international organizations or initiatives such as the International Space Environment Service (ISES), the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) Panel on Space Weather. CGMS promotes partnership with these initiatives with a view to optimize overall efforts.

10. CGMS-42-WP-21, 28 April 2014 Way forward The ad-hoc meeting recommends endorsing these ToR For now, activities can be addressed within WG-III CGMS Members can invite partners (e.g. JMA – NICT) Action: CGMS Members to establish an implementation team tasked to define detailed objectives for the implementation of CGMS space weather activities as defined in the ToR. In particular, the implementation team should propose next steps until CGMS-43 and objectives to be included in the HLPP: – Including space weather observations into the WIS – Implement procedure to report on spacecraft anomalies

11. CGMS-42-WP-21, 28 April 2014 Slide: 11 Summary CGMS-41 actions are completed ToR have been reviewed and are recommended for endorsement Proposed action to nominate an implementation team who will identify objectives in HLPP and define short term steps Opportunity to complete/update PoCs to work on procedure for reporting on spacecraft anomalies
