A SWPC team, ground processing system
in NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), for their work developing the Ground Processing System for the NOAA space weather satellite Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR). This team’s work saved the government $5 million and enables swift delivery of critical space weather data to diverse users: Power plant operators, air traffic controllers, satellite operators and precision GPS users in surveying, oil drilling, deep sea activities, and agriculture.
