NOUS41 KWBC 081650 AAA PNSWSH Service Change Notice 21-65 Updated National Weather Service Headquarters Silver Spring MD 1250 PM EDT Thu Jul 8 2021 To: Subscribers: -NOAA Weather Wire Service -Emergency Managers Weather Information Network -NOAAPort Other NWS Partners, Users and Employees From: Mike Farrar, Director National Centers for Environmental Prediction Subject: Updated: Implementation of the Whole Atmosphere Model-Ionosphere Plasmasphere Electrodynamics (WAM-IPE) Forecast System (WFS), a New Space Weather Product from the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC): Effective July 14, 2021 Updated to reflect new implementation date of July 14, 2021. SWPC is pleased to announce that on or about July 14, 2021, a new ionosphere and whole atmosphere model, Whole Atmosphere Model-Ionosphere Plasmasphere Electrodynamics (WAM-IPE) Forecast System (WFS), will be implemented into production at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). In the event of a Critical Weather Day (CWD), the implementation may be delayed. The coupled Whole Atmosphere Model-Ionosphere Plasmasphere Electrodynamics (WAM-IPE) Forecast System (WFS) provides a specification of ionosphere and thermosphere conditions with forecasts two days in advance in response to solar, geomagnetic and lower atmospheric forcing. Model outputs are used at the Space Weather Forecast Office (SWFO) at SWPC for issuing warnings and alerts related to aviation communication and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) scintillations. The real-time neutral density fields will also be available for orbit prediction and space traffic management purposes. The WAM is an extension of the Global Forecast System (GFS) with a spectral hydrostatic dynamical core utilizing an enthalpy thermodynamic variable to 150 vertical levels on a hybrid pressure-sigma grid, with a model top of approximately 3 x 10-7 Pa (typically 400-600km depending on levels of solar activity). Additional upper atmospheric physics and chemistry, including electrodynamics and plasma processes, are included. The IPE model provides the plasma component of the atmosphere. It is a time-dependent, global 3-dimensional (3-D) model of the ionosphere and plasmasphere from 90 km to approximately 10,000km. The flux-tube solver is based on the Field Line Interhemispheric Plasma (FLIP) model and flux- tube structures are defined by the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF). Seamless perpendicular plasma transport pole-to-pole and self-consistent electrodynamics are included.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) could benefit from lessons learned from the 9/11 First Responders Legislation, according to a report by Rand Corp. The report highlights concerns about the lack of veteran and family input and the need for robust scientific processes in managing the VA's PACT Act. The legislation expanded healthcare benefits for deployed veterans and designated various illnesses as connected to military service. Rand suggests that the VA should look to the legislative precedent set by the 9/11 legislation, which included beneficiary involvement and rigorous research. The report emphasizes the importance of meaningful stakeholder engagement and scientific collaboration to make informed decisions. The VA has faced criticism for its handling of presumptive conditions and disability ratings. The report calls for the VA to take action now to strengthen its programs and prepare for future veteran claims. #VA #veterans #legislation #9/11 #PACTAct #RandReport #military #veteranhealthcare #healthresearch #stakeholderengagement #veteranbenefits #veteranclaims #disabilityratings #veteranengagement #scientificcollaboration #veteranadvocacy
