There is a growing appreciation that the environmental conditions that we
call space weather impact the technological infrastructure that powers the
coupled economies around the world. With that comes the need to better shield
society against space weather by improving forecasts, environmental
specifications, and infrastructure design. ... advanced understanding of
space weather requires a coordinated international approach to effectively
provide awareness of the processes within the Sun-Earth system through
observation-driven models. This roadmap prioritizes the scientific focus areas
and research infrastructure that are needed to significantly advance our
understanding of space weather of all intensities and of its implications for
society. Advancement of the existing system observatory through the addition of
small to moderate state-of-the-art capabilities designed to fill observational
gaps will enable significant advances. Such a strategy requires urgent action:
key instrumentation needs to be sustained, and action needs to be taken before
core capabilities are lost in the aging ensemble. We recommend advances through
priority focus (1) on observation-based modeling throughout the Sun-Earth
system, (2) on forecasts more than 12 hrs ahead of the magnetic structure of
incoming coronal mass ejections, (3) on understanding the geospace response to
variable solar-wind stresses that lead to intense geomagnetically-induced
currents and ionospheric and radiation storms, and (4) on developing a
comprehensive specification of space climate, including the characterization of
extreme space storms to guide resilient and robust engineering of technological
infrastructures. The roadmap clusters its implementation recommendations by
formulating three action pathways, and outlines needed instrumentation and
research programs and infrastructure for each of these. ...
