2. Outline  Change of Plan!  My more-general thoughts with some highlights  Final IPSCDFv1.0?  Next Meetings  Summary

3. Change of Plan!

4. New Plan for this Talk  Originally was going to go into some detail on a few key science areas and then note several other options.  Discussions during the week have been very productive, positive, and indeed wanting to drive many avenues forward in using/developing IPS further.  New plan is to simply list (non-exhaustive – but my main feelings of opportunities out there for IPS) a longer list of wider ideas, some of which we have already discussed, while talking a little more around some of them as highlighted…

5. My more-general thoughts with some highlights

6. What (01)  Solar Orbiter and Solar Probe +.  Tomography and 3-D MHD models (driving and data assimilation techniques).  Consolidated analyses for space weather purposes including the formal fitting of necessary parameters.  IPSCDFv1.0 and potential opportunities in the wider Heliophysics (and space weather) that might bring.  SKA.

7. General Thoughts (2)  Secondary Spectrum and/or phase scintillation (distance to scattering screen).  Cross-frequency correlations (single- and multi-site).  Exploring dynamic spectra.  Turbulence and plasma physics.  Variations in scale sizes with distance from the Sun and what that means with dual-frequency correlations.

8. General Thoughts (3)  Need to find more-consolidated ways to obtain funding – independently, together, and as a world-wide observatory!  Worldwide observatory (current facilities and/or new).  Space-weather forecasting.  Combinations with FR?  Tomography and driven-MHD codes as unified world-wide IPS forecast tools.

9. Final IPSCDFv1.0?

10.  Proposed addition of various parameters/columns as discussed on Tuesday of this week which will complete the plain-text ASCII format as the IPS Common Data Format v1.0 (IPSCDFv1.0) for full implementation and use by all: DateMid-obs-UTObsLSystemCent.

11. Next Meetings

12.  IPS Workshop 2016 (two years is too long) – perhaps in Pushchino (near Moscow), Russia (enquiries and negotiations are under way). Backup at UCSD a few days before the 2016 Fall AGU; or something around the SWW in Colorado?  Remote-Sensing Workshop – RAL Space, England, UK (or nearby) in 2017?

13. Summary

14. What now?  Let us ALL work together to usher in the “New Golden Age of IPS” where IPS goes from strength to strength for coronal and heliospheric science and for space-weather forecasting!
