NSWP-SG-02: Observational Capabilities

Develop and sustain observational capabilities.

Other Information:

Model development, verification, and maintenance require quality observations taken from space and on the ground. The reliability and accuracy of space weather models strongly depend on the quality of the data ingested. Continued improvement and development of space weather observing capabilities could result in better coverage, timeliness, and accuracy. Development of advanced technologies will improve the quality and affordability of new observing systems and optimize the path from research to operational use. The program should continually review the status of current and future space weather observing capabilities and plans to ensure consistency and efficiency in the implementation and use of these resources.
