AB: NGDC's accumulated experience with regard to connecting users to the data that they need is being applied to building an advanced prototype user support system for the GOES-R space weather data sets. GOES-R is scheduled for launch in 2014 and data from operational GOES instruments will serve as proxy. The prototype will implement a model that supports a variety of user needs. For example, some users require a graphical interface that will guide them through an interactive data selection process, others prefer to select prepared products off-the-shelf, and a growing community of users prefer to have access protocols that allow their software to tap directly into data packets. This prototype will take a similarly diverse tack with regard to data latency, products, formats, visualization and browse capabilities. This poster will present the initial challenges as we see them and solicit input from the space science informatics community regarding techniques that may be well suited to meeting those challenges. The GOES-R series of satellites will provide X-ray sensor data; X-ray images; EUV data; energetic proton, electron, and heavy ion data; and magnetometer data.
