The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC)relies on particle measurements from satellites in low earth orbit (LEO) to provide higher-level space weather products and models to a wide range of users including power grid operators, airline flight planners, GPS users, satellite operators and the NASA Space Radiation Analysis Group responsible astronaut safety. NOAA currently operates five Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellite (POES) spacecraft in LEO. Each of these carries a suite of particle detectors that monitor radiation from particles with energies ranging from 50 eV to 275 MeV. Additionally, NOAA receives data from the EUMETSAT-operated METOP satellite that carries an identical sensor to that of POES. As user needs evolve, so too must the availability of data and space weather products. Here we review current user requirements for products based on LEO space environmental data and discuss the applicability of current SWPC products to meet those needs. We also discuss plans for future LEO particle data and the potential for new products more directed towards user needs.
