Space Weather: Modeling of the Open Magnetosphere Using Large Sets of Spacecraft Data

这个项目将改进目前高纬度地区和距离地球较远地区的地球磁场模型。新模型将包括磁层顶位置的模型，该模型取决于太阳风压力和行星际磁场（IMF）。交叉尾电流片对IMF by分量的扭曲响应将被包括在模型中，由于磁鞘等离子体的抗磁性效应，磁层尖端的磁场深度凹陷也将被包括在模型中。该模型将通过国家空间科学数据中心（NSSDC）的网站分发给科学界。

This project will improve current models of the Earth's magnetic field at high latitudes and at larger distances from the Earth than current models. The new model will include a model of the location of the magnetopause that depends on solar wind pressure and the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). The twisting of the cross-tail current sheet in response to the By-component of the IMF will be included in the model as will the deep depression of the magnetic field in the magnetospheric cusp due to the diamagnetic effect of magnetosheath plasma. The model will be distributed to the scientific community via the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) web site.
