SuperMAG: New Science Capabilities and Continued Operation

该项目寻求(1)确保SuperMAG的持续运行，SuperMAG是一个由组织和国家机构之间的全球合作，拥有300多台地面磁力计；(2)扩展现有服务，纳入额外数据，增强磁暴和亚暴事件列表，并产生新的数据产品。扩展到SuperMAG将使SuperMAG数据持有不断更新。这些更新将包括添加新数据，以及额外的错误纠正、错误修复，以及以建议和数据访问的形式增强的支持。SuperMAG为用户提供了方便地访问大量数据集的途径，否则这些数据集将难以获得并以有意义的方式使用。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拥有来自全球300个地面磁力计的经过全面处理的数据。通过一个用户友好的网站，SuperMAG以相同的时间分辨率和共同的基线去除方法，向研究界提供所有可用站点在共同坐标系下旋转的磁场扰动测量结果。对SuperMAG的持续资助将为社区提供不间断的支持，以便在与全球电离层电流系统及其与磁层耦合有关的研究中有效和高效地利用地面磁力计数据。对于需要对磁层和电离层系统中局部电流的磁效应进行清晰观测的研究，SuperMAG是非常有价值的。因此，SuperMAG为科学界提供了有用的服务。SuperMAG提供的磁强计数据不仅对磁层界至关重要，而且对一般的地球空间界也至关重要。SuperMAG提供的数据显然对空间天气应用很重要。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。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值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.
