Real-time SWMF-Geospace: A New Website Enabling Community Use
Abstract
An experimental real-time simulation of the Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF) is conducted at the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC), (http://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/realtime.php) and also through the CCMC's Integrated Space Weather Analysis (iSWA) site (http://iswa.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/IswaSystemWebApp/). Presently, two configurations of the SWMF are running in real time at CCMC, both focusing on the geospace modules, using the BATS-R-US magnetohydrodynamic model, the Ridley Ionosphere Model, and with and without the Rice Convection Model for inner magnetospheric drift physics. The model output includes result extractions along satellite trajectories as well as magnetic perturbation vectors at ground-based station locations. Here we unveil a new website (http://csem.engin.umich.edu/realtime) to highlight these real-time model results conducted by the CCMC, present some basic data-model comparisons with real-time observations, and archive the accuracy of this continuously-available simulation.
