The new NOAA Space Weather Portal (SPOT) was created in response to user requests. It now includes:

• Instant data visualization and interaction;
• Data downloads in common formats (csv, json);
• Data discoverability using common search parameters;
• The ability to compare multiple data products in the same plot.

SPOT is among the first in a series of planned NESDIS Common Cloud Framework based portals that will expand public access to NOAA’s environmental data. Similar platforms are in development for wildland fire and other mission areas. The new portal is a joint effort between NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), which provides the scientific and data management expertise behind the SPOT data products, the Office of Space Weather Observations (SWO), which develops and deploys operational satellite systems that study space weather, and the Office of Common Services (OCS), which manages the cloud infrastructure.
