<div><b>Scientific Aspects of Space Weather Forecasting</b></div>
<div>New satellite-based observations and physics-based models encompassing the solar corona to Earth’s upper atmosphere are advancing</div>
<div>space weather science. The Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph and Solar Dynamics Observatory missions are providing comprehensive</div>
<div>measurements of the structure and dynamics of solar drivers, and the Van Allen Probes are measuring manifestations of space weather at</div>
<div>Earth. Furthermore, the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission is expected to deliver new insights on magnetic reconnection, the most</div>
<div>important physical process underlying space weather. Solar-heliosphere models now transitioned to operations are permitting 1-4 day</div>
<div>advance warning of disturbances. Yet, enormous scientific challenges remain in understanding and forecasting space weather. We invite</div>
<div>presentations covering fundamental science, modeling, and observations in the solar, heliosphere, magnetosphere and upper atmosphere</div>
<div>domains. Talks addressing forecasting complex phenomena are welcome.</div>
