- W1991944985 abstract "The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration named Thomas J. Bogdan as the new director of their Space Environment Center (SEC). Located in Boulder, Colorado, the SEC is one of nine National Centers for Environmental Prediction. Bogdan assumed his new position on 29 May. “Tom is a brilliant scientist, and that certainly came through in his interview and in review of his background,” said Louis Uccellini, director of the National Center for Environmental Prediction, who reviewed Bogdan's application and recommended that he be hired. “Moreover, his administrative skills are stellar.” Bogdan, formerly a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) High Altitude Observatory (HAO), earned his B.S. in a joint physics and mathematics program at the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1979. He earned his M.S. in 1981 and Ph.D. (plasma astrophysics) in 1984 at the University of Chicago. Soon after graduating, Bogdan began working at HAO as a senior scientist, the youngest individual in NCAR history to have assumed that position. “I am currently researching topics in magnetohydrodynamics and helioseismicity,” Bogdan said. In addition to research, Bogdan served (2003–2004) as director of the National Science Foundation's Solar Terrestrial Research Program, where among other activities, he conceived, developed, and managed the Faculty Development in Space Sciences Program. “This put together eight new faculty lines in space science around the country,” Bogdan said. As director of the SEC, Bogdan will be charged with the tasks of facilitating the translation of research products into operational forecasting information useful to the public, and minimizing the time span between discovery and application. “We recognize that space weather is increasing in importance to many different users, including those in the private sector,” said Uccellini. “We are very excited about Tom joining the National Weather Service, and are looking forward to the expertise he will bring in expanding service to the space weather community and the public.” “I wish Tom the highest of successes in his new position,” said Michael Knölker, director of the HAO, explaining that though Bogdan represented some of the scientific bedrock for HAO, his departure is sweetened by how his appointment will benefit and influence science. “We are now talking intensely on how our two institutions can work together to channel new scientific insight gained on the research side into the application of this research on the operational side,” said Knölker. Bogdan has several ideas for directions the SEC can take, especially with regard to public outreach. “The next decade or two will be the golden age of space weather, in the same way that terrestrial weather was important at the beginning of the 20th century,” he noted. “A huge part of what we need to do is educate all age groups.” There is a greater awareness among the public of how space weather impacts lives, explained Bogdan, adding that not only does the high-tech economy depend on communications and spaceborne activities, but also people are curious about space weather. “They want to know, for example, when they might have a good chance to view aurorae. We're exploring the possibility of eventually having space weather forecasts on the weather channel.” Bogdan replaces Ernest Hildner, who retired from the SEC on 1 August 2005.
