CSEM Experience with Community Modeling Tamas Gombosi
What We Provide Today • SWMF source code is freely available (after registration) • SWMF has extensive documentation on-line • 150 page User Manual • Publications describing the SWMF and BATS-R-US are online (in PDF format) • User friendly web interface • Code control, run control, visualization • Daily test run on at least five platforms • CVS version control • E-mail notification of failures • BATS-R-US was the first model at CCMC • We have 7 years of experience and good relations • Provide regular updates and help troubleshooting • ~60% of all CCMC runs were made with CSEM codes
Main Issues (Tamas’ Opinion) • Who chooses the Community models? • What are the expectations • Troubleshooting • Documentation • Validation • Providing short test runs with all input and output files is essential • Source code needs to be available (but with licence agreement) • Honesty with model/physics limitations and problems
Model Issues • From magnetogram to corona • Synoptic magnetic field • Plasma parameters • How to heat the corona? • From corona to solar wind • How to match observations at the Sun and Earth? • We need to move to full qualitative models (providing plasma and magnetic field parameters) • STEREO images cannot be interpreted without qualitative 3D models
GUI:Code Control • Components of the framework can be easily selected for use. • Some components have multiple versions or even alternative models
GUI:Run Control • Upload SW driver or satellite position files. • Edit run parameter files. • Edit queue submission files. • Execute jobs.
GUI:Visualization • Visualize run output using quality templates with many customizable options. • Outputs postscript, png, animated gif, …
