GPS & Space Weather Policy Study

The AMS Policy Program is undertaking a study to develop recommendations to increase the reliability and accuracy of GPS, and thereby the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), through more effective use of space weather forecasts and information.

 

Dr. Genene Fisher, leading this study, is conducting policy research on:

  • the impact that space weather has on GPS technologies, services, and policies;
  • to what extent an improved understanding and usage of space weather information will have on GPS technologies, services, and policies; and
  • strategies and plans to effectively respond to space weather information.

 

The study will involve discussion with GPS government and industry leaders, space weather scientists and information providers, and policymakers. A workshop may be scheduled for later in the year.

We are currently soliciting feedback from stakeholders in the GPS community. We welcome your responses to the questionnaire below. Please direct questions and feedback to Genene Fisher, fisher@ametsoc.org, 919-461-3960. Thank you.
