NOAA Magazine NOAA Home Page Commerce Dept. NOAA LAUNCHES SPACE WEATHER WEEK 2005 April 4, 2005 — Space weather forecasters and researchers, as well as industry analysts affected by space weather from around the globe, will converge in Colorado for the launch of this year's Space Weather Week . The four-day conference runs April 5-8 in Broomfield, Colo. (Click undated NOAA image for larger view of a huge solar flare being unleashed from the surface of the sun. Click here "Space weather affects us all," said retired Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher , Ph.D., undersecretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. "Space weather affects people living and equipment in space as well as those on Earth. A unique and valuable aspect of Space Weather Week is the merging of research and operations." Researchers funded by NASA, National Science Foundation, Defense Department and numerous international organizations attend Space Weather Week to describe recent advances in numerical modeling, data assimilation and environmental measurements. The presentations and discussions at Space Weather Week focus on identifying the highest priority needs for operational services that can guide future research and on identifying new high-value capabilities that can be transitioned into operations.

China suffers widespread flooding and drought each year, causing huge loss of life. Sandstorms whip up from the north in the spring and typhoons roar in from the south in the summer. China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp. had completed an appraisal of the first of the locally developed satellites, Fengyun-2 batch two (FY-2 02), which would be launched atop Long March 3A rockets, the newspaper said. "China badly needs a stationary satellite like the FY-2 02 with its function of detecting sandstorms, forest and prairie fires," it quoted Qin Dahe, the top official at the China Meteorologic Administration (CMA), as saying.

The new CLS interim director is Michael Bancroft, a chemist from the University of Western Ontario who is a Canadian leader in synchrotron-aided research and a longtime proponent of building a synchrotron in Canada. Bancroft will be seconded for two years from UWO while an international search is carried out to find a permanent director for the CLS. Bancroft is past president of the Canadian Institute for Synchrotron Radiation that represents the more than 200 synchrotron users across Canada. He recently stepped down as president of the Chemical Society of Canada. Bancroft led an initiative at the UWO which enabled Canadian researchers to install three beamlines at a facility in Madison, Wisconsin. Those beamlines will be moved to the CLS.

86. NOAASIS - NOAA Satellite Information System For NOAA Meteorological / Weather Sa All are used for monitoring the nearEarth space environment or solar weather. GOES-12, the newest satellite also carries a Solar X-Ray Imager (SXI). http://noaasis.noaa.gov/NOAASIS/ml/genlsatl.html

NOAA's Geostationary and Polar-Orbiting Weather Satellites Operating the country's system of environmental ( weather ) satellites is one of the major responsibilities of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS). NESDIS operates the satellites and manages the processing and distribution of the millions of bits of data and images theses satellites produce daily. The primary customer is NOAA's National Weather Service, which uses satellite data to create forecasts for the public, television, radio, and weather advisory services. Satellite information is also shared with various Federal agencies, such as the Departments of Agriculture, Interior, Defense, and Transportation; with other countries, such as Japan, India, and Russia, and members of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the United Kingdom Meteorological Office; and with the private sector. NOAA's operational weather satellite system is composed of two types of satellites: geostationary operational environmental satellites (GOES) for short-range warning and "now-casting" and polar-orbiting satellites for longer-term forecasting. Both types of satellite are necessary for providing a complete global weather monitoring system. A new series of GOES and polar-orbiting satellites has been developed for NOAA by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The new GOES-I through M series provide higher spatial and temporal resolution images and full-time operational soundings (vertical temperature and moisture profiles of the atmosphere). The newest polar-orbiting meteorological satellites (that began with NOAA-K in 1998) provide improved atmospheric temperature and moisture data in all weather situations. This new technology will help provide the National Weather Service the most advanced weather forecast system in the world.

Background Information Although the average distance from Earth to the sun is a whopping 149,600,000 km, careful observation from the Earth reveals a surprising array of visible features. The most conspicuous and best known feature is the sunspot. Sunspots were first observed by Chinese astronomers more than 2,800 years ago. With the invention of the modern optical telescope during the early 1600's, sunspot observations became more common. Galileo not only observed sunspots, but inferred from the movement of the sunspots that the sun rotated. He observed that sunspots occur in groups, and also noted that they occur in two bands above and below the sun's equator. It was not until 1843 that the next significant development towards understanding sunspots occurred. A German pharmacist, whose hobby was astronomy, discovered that sunspots occur in cycles: the number of sunspots increases, the decreases in an eleven year cycle. We now also know that the sun has a magnetic field much like the magnetic field that surrounds a bar magnet. This general magnetic field gradually reverses polarity during each sunspot cycle, like the north and south poles of a bar magnet are switched when the magnet is turned end over end. The result is that the sun has a 22 year magnetic cycle, as well as an eleven year sunspot cycle. Furthermore, sunspots themselves have strong magnetic fields that reverse after each eleven year cycle to conform to the 22 year magnetic cycle. In fact, sunspots are hugh magnetic field bundles that break through the surface of the sun. These magnetic fields create cooler, darker regions, which we see as sunspots. The dark center of the sunspot is called the "umbra." The light area around the spot is the "penumbra." Refer to Figure 10.1.

Less known, but every bit as important, the NOAA Space Environment Center space weather The Space Environment Center wears several NOAA hats. It is both a NOAA Research laboratory and one of the NWS National Centers for Environmental Prediction . Its scientists are solar and space physicists, and its forecasters work every day turning out operational products, such as alerts and warnings. SEC is the national and world warning center for disturbances that can affect people and equipment working in the space environment. Jointly operated by NOAA and the U.S. Air Force, SEC provides forecasts and warnings of solar and geomagnetic activity to users in government, industry and the private sector. SEC continually monitors and forecasts the Earth's space environment, and provides accurate, reliable and useful solar-terrestrial information 24 hours a day, seven days a week. SEC's research scientists, working toward a better understanding of the sun-Earth connection, study the sun's electromagnetic, particle and magnetic-field emissions and the processes by which they affect the Earth's space environment.

advertisement Surviving Space: Risks to Humans on the Moon and Mars By Robert Roy Britt Senior Science Writer posted: 06:00 am ET 20 January 2004 There is no "biggest danger" in setting up a permanent lunar presence or sending people to Mars, says John Charles, an enthusiastic proponent of both ideas and a NASA analyst of the costs and risks of human space flight: "There are several." Launch, landing and re-entry are perhaps the riskiest moments of any space venture, history shows. But on long missions, what would otherwise be minor threats could become at best serious limitations or at worst deadly disasters. Basking in the glow of President Bush's call for sending humans back to the Moon as early as 2015 and then eventually to the red planet, Charles, who works at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, offered up his danger list yesterday: Lack of a medical facility could turn a mundane injury into a life-threatening situation; "Psychosocial" pressure will be high in a small group isolated for months or years; Zero or reduced gravity causes bone and muscle loss;
