  1. Space Weather Sand-AND Dust Storms- Challenges for services to aviation CAeM-XIV Hong Kong, China, 3-10 Feb 2010

  2. Background • EC-LXI agreed to establish an Inter-programme Coordination Team on Space Weather (ICTSW) • Terms of Reference: • Standardization and enhanced data exchange through WIS • Harmonized definition of end-products and services • Integration of Space Weather observations • Encourage dialogue between and among operational and research Space Weather communities

  3. Progress to Date • Circular letters to WMO Members and several international organizations (OOSA/COPUOS, ICAO, IMO, ISES, and ITU) to invite participation: • Nominations for ICTSW • Point of Contact within Country • Responses from 27 Members • Preliminary discussions with ISES, OOSA/COPUOS, ESA, Canada, China, the Russian Federation and USA to explore collaboration opportunities • Meeting with ISES and its representatives from Canada, the Russian Federation, USA and ESA developed preliminary list of activities for WMO ISES Collaboration

  4. Space Weather Publication

  5. CAeM and CBS Coordination • Presentation and report at February 2010 Meeting of CAeM (Item 8.8) calling for coordination with ICAO International Airways Volcano Watch Operations Group (IAVWOPSG) – requirements definition needed for information products • Selection of ICTSW Members and Co-chairs done in consultation with Presidents of the two Technical Commissions • February 2010 CAeM formally designates Co-Chair • November 2010 CBS formally will designate Co-Chair

  6. Actions • Recommend that Members support the work of ICTSW through adequate resources • Encourage collaboration between ICTSW and the ICAO IAVWOPSG • CAeM and CBS about to designate Co-Chairs
