[Skywarn] News From Space Weather Prediction Center

SWPC New Website Survey Available

As the Space Weather Prediction Center prepares to make its new
website operational near the end of September, we are pleased to
announce the availability of a National Weather Service Product Survey
to gather your comments.

Since the debut of the Beta site in April, we have gotten many
comments and suggestions.  We have attempted to address most of those
inputs, while adding content and data products.  For example, we now
have addressed size issues on the images and animations by adding
“lightbox” functionality similar to Google and YouTube that allows you
to maximize image and movie size.  Additionally we have many product
pages and “dashboard” pages focused on specific user groups.  This
includes the Space Weather Enthusiasts page
(http://origin-www.swpc.noaa.gov/content/space-weather-enthusiasts) as
a response to many who missed our Space Weather Now and Today’s Space
Weather pages. We have added Data Access
(http://origin-www.swpc.noaa.gov/content/data-access) where you can
navigate to our Product Subscription service or navigate to directly
retrieve text and image data. Finally, we improved mobile performance
and added a Search box that many of you requested.

Websites are never static, and so our site will continue to evolve and
improve as we move through this operational deployment period.  Our
users are our partners in keeping the site not only relevant, but also
exciting.  So, please take the time to browse through the site and
consider making it your primary Web access to SWPC versus our legacy
site.  And, of course, provide feedback through the Product Survey
page (http://www.nws.noaa.gov/survey/nws-survey.php?code=NSWPCWS).
