Multi-Point Magnetospheric Studies

调查人员将继续对磁层进行科学研究，对多点观测进行详细的数据分析。 这项工作将利用作为美国宇航局国际日地物理计划一部分发射的地面观测站和卫星提供的前所未有的覆盖范围。 具体目标是研究磁层中的压力分布，评估全球模型的准确性，并演示数据同化技术。 这项工作包括检查风暴和亚暴期间的等离子体压力分布，并将压力值与低空国防气象卫星计划卫星推断的压力值进行比较。 研究结果将有助于建立一个可靠的磁层压力模型，并为未来空间天气模型的数据同化铺平道路。

The investigators will continue scientific studies of the magnetosphere with detailed data analysis of multi-point observations. The effort will take advantage of the unprecedented coverage provided by ground-based observatories and satellites launched as part of NASA's International Solar Terrestrial Physics Program. Specific goals are to study the pressure distribution in the magnetosphere, to assess the accuracy of global models, and to demonstrate techniques for assimilation of data. The work includes examining plasma pressure distributions during storms and substorms and comparing the pressure values with those inferred from low-altitude Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellites. The results will help develop a reliable model for pressure in the magnetosphere and pave the way for data assimilation in future space weather models.
