About the SpaceWx Alert Monitor (SAM)

layouts

The purpose of this website is to track SAM (SpaceWx Alert Monitor) watches, warnings, advisories, and alarms. The brief "Alerts" are only updated in the event of a noteworthy occurrence. Every five minutes, the more thorough "Status" notifications are refreshed. Plots are updated approximately every 100 seconds to allow for the monitoring of real-time operations.
