Solar-terrestrial prediction services in China began in 1969 at the
Beijing Astronomical Observatory (BAO), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). In
1990, BAO joined the International URSIgram and World Days Service (IUWDS)
and started solar-terrestrial data and prediction interchanges with other
members of IUWDS. The short-term solar activity prediction service with
standard URSIgram codes began in January 1991 at BAO, and forecasts have been
issued routinely every weekday from then on. The Regional Warning Center
Beijing (RWC-Beijing) of IUWDS was officially approved in China in 1991 and
was formally established in February 1992. In 1996, the IUWDS was changed to
the current name, the International Space Environment Service (ISES). In
2000, the RWC-Beijing was renamed RWC-China according to ISES requirements.
In 2001, the National Astronomical Observatories, CAS (NAOC) was established.
All the solar-terrestrial data and prediction services of BAO were taken up
by NAOC. The headquarters of RWC-China is located on the campus of NAOC
