Space Weather Canada

The Canadian Space Weather Forecast Centre in Ottawa is operated by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), with support from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). It is a Regional Warning Centre (RWC) of the International Space Environment Service (ISES, formerly IUWDS). The ISES global network monitors a variety of parameters that help to characterize the conditions on the Sun, in space between the Sun and Earth, and on the Earth. The data are used by Regional Warning Centres and others to develop Space Weather warnings and alerts.
