27 Lessons Learned Research models can not be put into operational use directly without evaluation, verification, validation and some necessary modification Research models and operational model focus on different targets (science question vs forecast accuracy) There may be several codes exist for a specific problem (i.e., functions relating flux tube expansion factor to the solar wind speed). Verification and Validation are needed to choose the best (or the proper) one. Models should be optimized when driven by real time (or quick-look) data rather than science data. Some models failed to meet the requirements of the downstream models, which may significantly influence the success of the whole project (such as the CME autodetection tool). Automation also brings some problems. Modifications are needed to connect different models (the HAF resolution is changed then optimized codes are needed to meet the requirements by SEP simulation).

28 Lessons Learned Sustainable interaction between research community and operation community is needed. Defining & developing what s needed is non-trivial. Modelers may be unclear about what forecasters want. Forecasters know exactly what are the most urgent requirements in operational services. Forecasters may don t know what models can (or could) do, or the circumstances under which the models are applicable. Forecasters do comprehensive verification and validation works, focusing on the operational usage. The result needed to be fed back to the modelers to optimize the model. Iteration is required to derive good forecast products. A transition team approach is workable (forecasters, computation experts, scientists, managers).
