IPS Service Under Review
Date : 22 / 06 / 2014
Author : Phil Wait - VK2ASD
A Discussion Paper has been released by the Ionospheric Prediction
Service as the first step in what could be a wide-ranging review
of the service.
A copy of this paper can be downloaded from the following Link >>
http://review.ips.gov.au/
Responses are required by 4th July.
The Review Terms of Reference are:
1. Review the policy basis for the Bureau's Space Weather services;
2. Provide an analysis and international benchmarking comparison of
the Bureau's Space Weather services, and use of observations and
infrastructure, including:
their current status;
performance and impact;
scope;
manner of delivery; and
adequacy of capabilities and resourcing to deliver the service;
3. Evaluate the extent to which the Bureau's Space Weather services
meet user needs, especially those of significant user groups
and high-impact users;
4. Assess the strategic outlook (over 5-10 years) for Space Weather
services in Australian, regional and global settings and, in light
of 1 to 3 above, provide advice on the capabilities required to
meet the future challenges;
5. Comment on the potential for cost-recovery of Space Weather services;
6. Provide recommendations based on the above analyses,
assessments and evaluations.
The WIA encourages radio amateurs to lodge a submission to the review,
especially if they use IPS services, explaining how the free IPS service
provided to Public Radio Users aids their communications activities.
