History of WMO’s Involvement in Space Weather (1/4)

• In June 2008, the WMO Executive Council (EC-60) noted the considerable impact of Space Weather on meteorological infrastructure and important human activities. It acknowledged the potential synergy between meteorological and Space Weather services to operational users.


WMO Operational Frameworks

Organizational Challenges !!!• The space weather observations include the

following domains: (i) the Sun, (ii) Interplanetary Space, (iii) near-Earth Space, (iv) Magnetosphere, (v) Ionosphere, (vi) Thermosphere, (vii) Geomagnetic field.

• The required space weather data are obtained by a numerous types of instruments, both in Space and on Earth.

• These platforms are operated by different organisations, in many cases not associated with meteorological services.


• In May 2010, WMO established the Interprogramme Coordination Team on Space Weather (ICTSW) with a mandate to support Space Weather observation, data exchange, product and services delivery, and operational applications.



• In May 2015, the World Meteorological Congress (Cg-17) agreed that WMO should undertake international coordination of operational space weather monitoring and forecasting with a view to support the protection of life, property and critical infrastructures and the impacted economic activities in an optimized overall effort.



• In June 2016, the Executive Council (EC-68) approved the Four-year Plan for WMO activities related to Space Weather in 2016-2019, and requested to establish Inter-Programme Team on Space Weather Information, System and Services (IPT-SWeISS) who will pursue the work and achievement of ICTSW.

“Four-year Plan”: http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/sat/documents/SAT-GEN_Space-weather-Four-Year-Plan-2016-2019-en.pdf



• As a result of this planned effort, space-based and ground-based space weather observing systems will be better coordinated:

- Quality-assured space weather products will be available to all WMO Members through WIS;

- in particular, space weather services for civil aviation will be addressed as required by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

• The proposed high-level organization is expected:

- to facilitate the effective coordination with initiatives external to WMO;

- to enable the long-term improvement of space weather service capabilities.


Purpose of the Four-Year Plan for WMO Activitiesrelated to Space Weather 2016-2019

WMO’s Initiative for Promoting Space Weatherwill be realized in collaboration with

• Service providers (ISES)• Space-based observations providers (e.g., CGMS,

ESA)• Scientific organizations (e.g., COSPAR)• UN and Intergovernmental organizations (e.g.,

ICAO, ITU)- ICAO: operational, global space weather

information service for aviation- ITU: Radio Frequency Coordination

• Overall UN space policy framework (UN COPUOS)


- Promote the sustained availability, quality, and interoperability of the observations that are essential to support space weather warning and other services, while optimizing the overall cost of the observing system;

- Improve the collection, exchange and delivery of space weather data and information through open sharing, internationally agreed standards, and coordinated procedures taking advantage of the WMO Information System (WIS);

- Ensure that space weather analysis, modelling and forecasting methods allow the delivery of operational services on the best possible scientific basis; facilitate the transfer of technical and scientific advances from research to operations;

- Support the emergence and establishment of cost-effective and high-value services in identifying and addressing user requirements, focusing on the sectors where internationally coordinated responses are required, in coordination with aviation and other major application sectors, building on the Aeronautical Meteorology Programme (AeMP) and Public Weather Service (PWS) programme;

- Foster the production of high-quality end products and services by WMO Members, building on ISES centres and other examples of recognized services, in developing best practices, to improve the accuracy, reliability, interoperability, overall cost-efficiency of the provision of services;

- Improve the emergency warning procedures and global preparedness to space weather hazards in accordance with the WMO Strategy on Disaster Risk Reduction;

- Promote synergy between the space weather and the meteorological/climate communities and activities, and advance the understanding of space weather impacts on weather and climate processes;

- Support training and capacity-building, based on science and operational experience, to develop skills in the generation and interpretation of space weather products and services in order to allow WMO Members to utilize existing information in a meaningful way, build their own service capabilities, and facilitate user uptake of new products and services.


High-level Goals for the Four-Year Plan for WMO Activitiesrelated to Space Weather 2016-2019

Cooperation with ICAO- An ad hoc Task Team on Aviation (TT-AVI) was

established to, inter alia, assist WMO in the conducting of site assessments and audits of prospective space weather information at the request of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

- ICAO has officially requested WMO to undertake such site assessments and audits between October 2017 and March 2018 in view of ICAO’s intention to introduce an operational space weather information service for international air navigation by November 2018.

IPT-SWeISS: Current Status, Achievement (1/5)


ICAO in cooperation with WMO established a framework for the International Airways Volcano Watch (IAVW) in 1993. Within this framework, nine Volcanic Ash Advisory Centers (VAACs) monitor volcanic eruptions and provide information on the locations and movement of volcanic ash in their areas of responsibility, as soon as volcanic ash is reported or detected (volcano observatory, pilot report, satellite imagery, etc.)

Existing Collaborative Framework between WMO and ICAOVolcanic Ash Advisory Centers (VAACs)


Radio Frequency Coordinationfor Space Weather Observation

- The report on the usage of radio frequencies for space weather was submitted to the WMO Steering Group on Radio Frequency Coordination (SG-RFC) for the further development of the WMO document into a form suitable for presentation to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

- However, the technical details for many of the space weather instruments listed in the WMO document are not completed yet, especially for ground-based observations, and under reviewing by instrument experts.

- Your kind reviewing and comments to the WMO report for presentation to ITU are highly appreciated.



WMO “Statement of Guidance (SoG)” for Space Weather Services

through the WMO Rolling Review of Requirements (RRR) process for Gap Analysis

- SoG provides an assessment of the adequacy of observations to fulfill requirements and suggests areas of progress towards improved use of space-based and surface-based observing systems

- User requirements for Space Weather observations are compared with the capabilities of present and planned observing systems. (Gap Analysis so called “Critical Review”)

- IPT-SWeISS continuously reviews the SoG, and the latest revised SoG was authorized in public in May 2018.https://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/OSY/SOG/SoG-SW.pdf
