    NOAA Science Advisory Board (U.S.)
  • Description:
    The report discusses the role of the GONG, which is a network of six observatories around the globe providing continuous observations of the sun. This network plays a key role in forecasting solar drivers of geomagnetic storms and associated geomagnetic activity, which can impact global positioning systems (GPS), electric power transmission, satellite communications, and satellite drag. Anticipating the onset of these events is one of the major priorities for the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). The current GONG network is reaching the end of its operational life, and the National Solar Observatory (NSO) has planned for design of a next generation Ground-based solar Observing Network (ngGONG). The EISWG report concludes that “GONG provides a vital data source for space weather operations, and it is nearing end of life. The ngGONG project is the most straightforward replacement. It will maintain present operational capabilities and provide observations for future requirements. The time window to complete ngGONG prior to demise of GONG is closing.” The report recommends that NOAA/NWS financially support the design phase for ngGONG to ensure initiation of the project in a timely manner.
