LOSS OF IMPORTANT SEC SERVICE
On April 3, 2006, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA)issued a press release announcing a call for public comment on the
value of continuing real-time solar wind data, and products derived from
such data, provided by the Space Environment Center. This is your
opportunity to comment on the value of this service. The comment period
starts on April 3 and continues for 45 days through May 18. Public comments
will be incorporated into future plans to best meet the needs of the users.
If you wish more background information, go to the special National Weather
Service (NWS) web site http://www.weather.gov/os/space/
If you wish to express your opinion on this directly, send an email to
solar.wind.comments@noaa.gov
Please redistribute this notice to other customers you may know who are also
potentially affected. This is a one-time opportunity to provide your input
on this matter.
Brief Background:
Currently there is no plan to replace NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer
(ACE) satellite when it or the monitoring instruments ultimately fail. ACE
is now the only source of real-time solar wind data.
During the next 6 weeks, you can let the NWS know of the importance of solar
wind data and products. You may wish to comment on:
-- The value of real-time solar wind data and the products that use it
(alerts, warnings, forecasts, models)
-- The economic consequences to your business, or negative impact on your
activities, if real-time solar wind data are unavailable
-- The need for follow-on solar wind monitoring once ACE fails
Please send an email to solar.wind.comments@noaa.gov or contact:
