  2. Objectives Concentrate on global picture of Earth’s response to various inputs To continue the successful IHY Observatory Development program as a perpetual activity Create data products useful for developing space weather science To continue the successful IHY schools as International space weather schools To continue and enhance the public outreach program to create a better awareness of space weather To promote synergistic activities with SCOSTEP/CAWSES and IAU/Comm. 49

  3. Organization Simplified Compared to IHY: Steering Committee + National Committees Steering Committee including instrument providers Outreach subcommittee SW Schools subcommittee

Principles of the Instrument Program • The lead scientist or principle investigator funded by his/her country provides instrumentation (or fabrication plans) and data distribution • The host country provides the workforce, facilities, and operational support typically at a local university. • Host scientists become part of science team • All data and data analysis activity is shared • All scientists participate in publications and scientific meetings where possible

  6. Current Instrument InstallationsA Proven Track Record This model for developing instrument networks was proven during the IHY IHY (http://ihy2007.org) 6
