Space Weather: Modeling and Forecast of the Geospace Magnetic Field, Based on Satellite Data

该计划将建立观测到的太阳风和地球磁层磁场变化之间的定量关系。新的磁场模型将基于PI在开发磁层磁场模型方面所做的先前工作。来自极地、GEOTAIL、CRRES和GOES卫星的新数据集将与WIND和ACE卫星测量的太阳风参数相关联。该计划将对空间物理和空间气象界最广泛使用的磁场模型进行重大改进。通过将生成的模型与太阳风条件进行索引，它将提供极大地改进的预测能力。

This program will develop a quantitative relation between the observed solar wind and variations in the magnetic field in the Earth's magnetosphere. The new magnetic field model will be based on the previous work done by the PI in developing magnetospheric field models. New data sets from the POLAR, GEOTAIL, CRRES, and GOES satellites will be correlated with Solar Wind parameters measured by the WIND and ACE satellites. This program will make significant improvements to the most widely used magnetic field model in the Space physics and Space Weather community. By indexing the resulting model to solar wind conditions it will provide a greatly improved forecast ability.
