The 2024 AMOS Dialogue focused on space weather prediction capabilities, current practices for atmospheric density modeling, and the impact that these have on both the accuracy of SSA and conjunction warnings as well as the ability to share SSA data among various stakeholders. The first session included discussions on the current space weather prediction capabilities and practices for atmospheric density modeling and how these issues affect the accuracy of SSA and conjunction warnings. The second session shifted focus and looked at how the United States and international actors could address these issues. A few key takeaways included the need for improved forecasting capabilities (which would require significant investment in more space-based infrastructure), the call for better national and international coordination, a desire for increased transparency around which models are being used for analysis, and a suggestion to address the gap in guidance around very low altitudes and the unique risks associated with those space activities. Participants also recognized the need for sustained interaction between satellite operators and the space weather research and observation communities.
