Scientific paper

Recent international space science programs have made a concerted effort to study activity on the Sun, the propagation of energy bursts from the Sun to near-Earth space, energy coupling into the magnetosphere, and its redistribution and deposition in the upper and middle atmosphere. Extreme solar, geomagnetic and solar wind conditions can be observed by a large international array of satellites and ground-based sensors. We discuss the types of space weather-related problems that have been identified in recent times and consider examples of space weather-induced spacecraft (and ground-based) anomalies and failures that affect both civilian and military systems. Special attention will be given to delineating the specific kinds of geospace responses that occur for different transient solar wind drivers. In this context, we discuss near-term plans to consolidate and integrate understanding as an important component of the community effort to propose technical and operational solutions to space weather problems. I will focus on new scientific advancement that is needed for successful space weather programs and will describe actions that can help assure a good future integrated space weather program.
