Solar Wind Comments Update

On April 3, 2006, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a press release announcing a call for public comment on the value of continuing real-time solar wind data, and products derived from such data, provided by the Space Environment Center. Since that time, NOAA has received many thoughtful, compelling comments regarding this issue. It is obvious that people put their valuable time and effort into expressing themselves, and their input is most appreciated.

As stated in the April 3 press release, the comment period continues until May 18. All input is important, so, if you haven't voiced your opinion yet and would like to, please take the time to do so. Please send your comments to:
