... agency-sponsored activities generated by the interagency National Space Weather Action Plan (NSWAP) organizational meetings and reports, together with the 2013 solar and space physics decadal survey1 and its midterm assessment.2 As seen in this proceedings, the workshop resulted in a broad assessment of  Space weather "needs" in areas from science research to applications;  The important observations for both monitoring and improving models;  The value of coordinated efforts across communities, agencies, and nations; and  Achievable post SWFO-L1 advances.

... . Heliophysics is typically separated into the following three subareas relevant to space weather: solar and heliospheric physics, which encompasses the Sun and interplanetary space; magnetospheric physics, which describes the region of interplanetary space proximate to Earth, where the physics is still controlled by Earth's magnetic field; and upper atmospheric physics, which is focused on the atmosphere layers above stratospheric levels, including the mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere and the ionized portions of these making up the ionosphere.
