NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center, which monitors and forecasts Earth's space environment provides accurate, reliable, and useful solar-terrestrial information. Mon, 29 Oct 2007 08:29:07 EDT ronald.c.jones@noaa.gov http://www.spaceweather.noaa.gov/AboutSEC/index.html The NOAA Space Environment Center has been approved to officially change its name to the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). The center is one of the nine National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)within NOAA's National Weather Service. The new name aligns the space weather center with the other NCEP centers and more clearly conveys its operational nature. The date for the name change is Monday, October 1,2007.

Space weather storms originate from the Sun and occur in space near Earth or in the Earth's atmosphere. These storms generally occur due to eruptions on the Sun known as solar flares and coronal mass ejections Wed, 23 Aug 2000 22:56:04 EDT noaawatch@noaa.gov
