Space Weather: Geosynchronous Data Assimilation for an Operational Magnetosphere Model

该研究计划旨在利用从洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室（LANL）地球同步卫星获得的数据来改进莱斯大学开发的磁层规格模型（MSM）。该项目是与LANL （M. Thomsen， PI, ATM-9819875）的联合项目。该项目将研究将来自LANL卫星的近实时高能粒子数据吸收到MSM中的方法。该项目还将探索模型输出对输入数据的敏感性，并将确定哪些输入参数对模型输出提供最有用的改进。此外，该项目将对MSM代码进行更改，以使我们能够利用计算机功能的进步。

This research program is designed to utilize data obtained from the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Geosynchronous satellites to improve the Magnetospheric Specification Model (MSM) developed at Rice University. The project is a joint program with LANL (M. Thomsen, PI, ATM-9819875). The project will investigate methods of assimilating near real-time energetic particle data from the LANL satellites into the MSM. The project will also explore the sensitivity of the model output to the input data and will determine which input parameters provide the most useful improvements to the model output. Additionally, the project will make changes to the MSM code to make us of advances in computer capabilities.
