<p class="MsoNormal">The Space Weather Operations, Research, and Mitigation (SWORM) Interagency Working Group is requesting input to identify historical data NOT currently available in the public domain that would benefit research efforts and have the potential
to improve models for characterizing and forecasting space weather events.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The 2019 National Space Weather Strategy and Action Plan (NSW-SAP) identifies space weather as having the potential to adversely affect national critical infrastructure, defense and intelligence systems, and military operations. Existing
space weather operational modeling and forecasting capabilities fall short of what is required to meet the Nation’s needs for space weather services. To fully realize the benefits of its research investments, the Nation should develop improved research models
targeted to operational needs, transition these research models to operational models, and incorporate them into operational forecasts. Developing forecasting capabilities with increased accuracy, lead-time, and geographic resolution will enable more effective
mitigation approaches and further national preparedness for space weather events. Greater access to existing data sets would advance the development, validation, and testing of models used for characterizing and forecasting space weather events and improve
the quality of space weather products and services.<o:p></o:p></p>
