Dear Colleagues,

We are now inviting abstracts to the 2024 AGU Fall Meeting Session SH035:  “The May 2024 Gannon Storm: Space Weather Operational performance, Validations and Operations-to-Research Lessons”, due on July 31, 2024.  Please view our session details below and abstracts can be submitted at https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prelim.cgi/Session/225301

The recent May 2024 Gannon Storm marked the first G5 event since 2003 and provides the right circumstances for testing Space Weather infrastructure developed in recent decades to mitigate the effects of extreme events. Amidst ongoing solar activity near solar maximum, these intense storms provide valuable opportunities for the space weather community to evaluate the effectiveness and timeliness of current operational capabilities in forecasting adverse impacts and taking mitigation actions, for both space and ground-based technologies. This session seeks to synergize performance results, validation efforts, and operations-to-research (O2R) endeavors that center on the Gannon Storm. We encourage submissions examining and analyzing the storm, utilizing operational or operation-ready models to deepen our comprehension of significant events and thereby enhancing existing space weather forecasts. Contributions from all Space Weather domains and a wide array of topics, including modeling, validation, instrumentation, observations & forecasts, and research case studies, are enthusiastically welcomed.

Please contact us at anthony.rasca@noaa.gov if you have any other questions and we look forward to seeing all the contributions!

Thanks,
