SuperMAG: New Science Capabilities and Continued Operation

该项目力求(1)确保SuperMAG继续运作，这是各组织和国家机构之间的全球性合作，运营着300多台地面磁力仪；(2)扩大目前的服务，纳入更多数据，增强磁暴和亚暴事件清单，并制作新的数据产品。SuperMAG的扩展将使SuperMAG的数据持有量能够不断更新。这些更新将包括添加新数据，以及额外的纠错、错误修复，以及以建议和数据访问的形式增强的支持。SuperMAG为用户提供了对大量数据集的轻松访问，否则这些数据集将难以以有意义的方式获得和使用。该项目将为早期职业科学家和学生提供教育机会，并让高中教师参与研究。SuperMag保存着来自全球300个地面磁力仪的完全处理的数据。通过一个用户友好的网站，SuperMAG向研究界提供在一个共同坐标系中旋转的所有可用站点的磁场扰动测量，具有相同的时间分辨率和通用的基线消除方法。继续为SuperMAG提供资金，将能够不间断地支持该社区在与全球电离层电流系统及其与磁层的耦合有关的研究中有效和高效地利用地面磁强计数据。对于需要对磁层和电离层系统中的局部电流的磁效应进行干净观测的研究，SuperMAG非常有价值。因此，SuperMAG为科学界提供了有用的服务。随时获取SuperMAG提供的磁力仪数据不仅对磁层社区至关重要，而且对整个地球航天社区也至关重要。SuperMAG提供的数据显然对空间气象应用非常重要。该项目将为早期职业科学家和学生提供教育机会，并让高中教师参与研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project seeks to (1) ensure the continued operation of SuperMAG, a worldwide collaboration between organizations and national agencies that operate more than 300 ground-based magnetometers; and (2) expand the current service to incorporate additional data, enhance the magnetic storm and substorms event lists, and produce new data products. The expansion to SuperMAG will enable the SuperMAG data holdings to be constantly updated. These updates will include adding new data, as well as additional error correcting, bug fixes, and enhanced support in the form of advice and data access. SuperMAG provides users easy access to an extensive dataset that would otherwise be prohibitively difficult to obtain and use in a meaningful way. The project will provide educational opportunities for early career scientists and students and engage high school teachers in research.SuperMag is a holding of fully processed data from 300 ground-based magnetometers worldwide. Through a user-friendly website, SuperMAG provides to the research community measurements of magnetic field perturbations from all available stations rotated in a common coordinate system, with identical time resolution and a common baseline removal approach. Continued funding of SuperMAG will enable uninterrupted support to the community for effective and efficient utilization of ground magnetometer data in research studies related to the global ionospheric current system and its coupling to the magnetosphere. For studies requiring clean observations of the magnetic effects of local currents in the magnetosphere and ionosphere system SuperMAG is very valuable. As such, SuperMAG provides a useful service to the scientific community. The ready access to magnetometer data provided by SuperMAG is not just only critical for the magnetospheric community but the general geospace community. The data provided by SuperMAG are clearly important for space weather applications. The project will provide educational opportunities for early career scientists and students and engage high school teachers in research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
