Since its release, Severe Space Weather Events -- Understanding Societal and Economic Impacts: A Workshop Report has attracted broad media attention, much of which has been focused on the workshop discussion of the prolonged electrical grid outages that could result from a particularly severe event. Some of the articles were of a rather sensational nature, so the National Research Council's Office of News and Public Information and SSB staff monitor the report press and field incoming requests for information and interviews.

Through invited presentations and discussion, participants examined sources of uncertainty throughout satellite and other remote data collection systems, including issues of sampling, scale, processing, and validation; described the statistical methods currently used to quantify these sources of uncertainty for climate-relevant data; and explored how modern statistical methods might be used to provide a more powerful framework for characterizing and propagating these uncertainties. A summary report of the proceedings, Uncertainty Management in Remote Sensing of Climate Data: Summary of a Workshop, was released in 2009; the summary of the report is reprinted in Chapter 5.
