Including Solar and Heliospheric Models at the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC)

该提案将把太阳和日球层模型纳入美国国家航空航天局(NASA)戈达德航天飞行中心的社区协调建模中心。然后，CCMC将通过量身定制的在线界面向研究团体提供这些模型的访问权限，并在完成适当的测试和评估后，将经过验证的太阳和日球层模型版本传输给美国空间气象业务机构。为此，CCMC打算雇用一名新的工作人员，并由本提案予以支持。CCMC的工作人员将与太阳和日球层模型的开发者合作，并将使这些模型适应CCMC的计算资源。这些资源范围从内部的Beowulf型并行计算机到美国空军(USAF)在国防部(DoD)高性能计算中心提供的计算资产。CCMC工作人员将开发易于使用的界面，允许用户请求太阳/日球层模拟，并以灵活的方式分析已完成的运行结果。CCMC将评估太阳/日球层模型的性能，并与模型所有者一道，在需要和可能的情况下努力提高模型的性能。这一活动可能包括相邻域或物理尺度的耦合模型。在评估了模型的科学有效性和数值稳定性，并通过基于度量的研究对其性能进行评估后，将考虑将它们移交给联邦政府的运营机构。CCMC为这一进程开辟了一条新的道路。因此，拟议中的计划将极大地促进美国行动机构对太阳和日球层模型的使用。

This proposal will incorporate solar and heliospheric models into the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) at National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center. The CCMC will then provide the research community access to these models via tailored online interfaces, and transfer validated versions of the solar and heliospheric models to U.S. space weather operational agencies after suitable testing and evaluation have been completed. For this purpose, CCMC intends to hire a new staff member to be supported by the present proposal. CCMC staff will work with developers of solar and heliospheric models and will adapt these models to CCMC computing resources. These resources range from in-house Beowulf-type parallel computers to U.S. Air Force (USAF)-provided computational assets at the Department of Defense (DoD) high-performance computing centers. CCMC staff will develop easy-to-use interfaces that will allow users to request solar/heliospheric simulations and analyze the results of completed runs in a flexible manner. CCMC will evaluate the performance of the solar/heliospheric models and, together with model owners, work to increase model performance where desirable and possible. This activity may include coupling models of adjacent domains or physical scales. After models have been evaluated for scientific validity and numerical stability, and their performance assessed through metrics-based studies, they will be considered for transfer to operational agencies in the federal government. CCMC has established a new path for this process. Thus, the use of solar and heliospheric models by U.S. operational agencies will be greatly enhanced by the proposed program.
