Advancing Space Weather Socio-Economic Study in the USA
Explore the progress and plans of the USA-based study on the socio-economic impacts of space weather, including the national mandate, scope, work description, and risks assessment. Learn about the initiative to quantify economic effects and identify thresholds for impacts, with a focus on sectors like the electric power system, satellite technology, and aviation. The study aims to enhance the value of space weather services through improved understanding of economic impacts. Join the discussion at the Space Weather Workshop to delve into economic impact modeling and potential collaborations in this vital field.

Plans and Progress on the USA-based Space Weather Socio-Economic Study Terry Onsager and Doug Biesecker NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center Terry.Onsager@noaa.gov
Outline National mandate for study Study scope Work description Focus session at Space Weather Workshop aurore-8sep02-stevosss Improved understanding of economic impacts will guide future product develop and enhance the value of space weather services
Space Weather Risks are Recognized - Economic Impact Assessment Required U.S. National Strategy and Action Plan released October, 2015 Action 4.5.2: DOC, in coordination with DHS, will support research into the social and economic impacts of space-weather effects Initiated: August, 2016 Completion: September, 2017 Study conducted by Abt Associates
Study Scope Identify, describe, and quantify the social and economic impacts of space weather to United States interests, including but not limited to: Damage or anticipated damage to the electric power system Lost productivity due to Global Navigation Satellite System impacts Impacts or anticipated impacts to aviation, including radiation Damage or anticipated damage to satellites aurore-8sep02-stevosss
Work Description Quantify economic effects and other social effects, such as health Develop two sets of quantitative estimates: - Theoretical maximum level event - Moderate, more frequently occurring event Identify thresholds above which impacts can be expected Full documentation of methods, procedures, and recommended work
Space Weather Workshop Session on Economic Impact Modeling Encourage discussion of international economic impact modeling efforts Presentations on results and lessons learned Opportunity to consider follow-on work and possible collaborations * See Mark Gibbs for additional information
