  1. The Community Coordinated Modeling Center: Options for THEMIS support Michael Hesse http://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

  2. NASA NSF “A US multi-agency partnership to enable, support, and perform the research and development for next generation space science and space weather models” AFRL AF/XOW - AFWA NOAA/SEC AF SMC/CI ONR AFOSR

  3. CCMC Goals • Employ scientific research models to address National Space Weather needs • Generate, with the research community, a flexible model chain, which addresses solar atmosphere to Earth’s upper atmosphere • Serve the research community through access to scientific model results (“open model policy”) • Perform broad-based testing and metrics-based evaluation of research models • Make available science- and metrics-tested models to operational National Space Weather Agencies

  4. Models: Overview PFSS Exosph. SW BATS-R-US Helio. Tomog. AbbyNormal Open- GGCM Weimer2K Fok RC SAMI2 WSA CTIP WSA CRCM GAIM MAS ENLIL SWMF

  5. Service • Through www-accessible run results • Through runs on request (>600 now), • - 5 ionospheric models • - 4 magnetospheric models • - 4 heliospheric models • - 3 solar models • Runs can be tailored to user needs • No cost to user A. Chulaki, L. Rastaetter, M. Goldfarb

  6. Magnetospheric Models • OpenGGCM (UNH), BATSRUS (UMich) – 3D global MHD models of magnetosphere ( 2RE – 200RE) . • Fok kinetic Ring Current and Radiation Belt Models ( 2RE – 6RE) . L. Rastaetter, M. Kuznetsova

  7. Fluopause Magnetosheath BowShock BATSRUS/CCMC G. Siscoe

  8. IMF IMF IMF IMF IMF Verification with BATSRUS/CCMC Origin of the cold-dense plasma sheet. G. Siscoe

  9. Ionospheric Models NmF2 ne • Electrodynamic (MHD ionospheric modules) • Empirical (Weimer statistical) • SAMI 2 meridional ionosheric (Huba, NRL) • CTIP global ionospheric (Fuller-Rowell et al, NOAA) M. Kuznetsova, L. Rastaetter

  10. Experimental Real Time Page BATSRUS L. Rastaetter

  11. Key Usage Statistics • Total executed model runs: Over 600 runs executed so far • Monthly website stats ‘05: • 17,900 website hits/month • 600 unique visitors/month • 1350 visualization requests/month • International resource • Responding to user feedback: • interface streamlining underway A. Chulaki

  12. Models: Future • Sun, Heliosphere, Magnetosphere and Ionosphere: • SWMF (UMichigan) includes 9 component models covering solar corona to upper atmosphere. • CISM 1.0: First version of CISM Sun-Earth model. • Sun: • Updated MAS step toward eruption modeling • New models: UCB ANMHD model, DeVore ARMS, DeForest Fluxon • Ionosphere: • GAIM (USU) installed (compiled code only) • CCMC will support GAIM V&V • Eccles HF absorption model • Installation completed • NASA/LWS supported • Input from Science & Operations?

  13. Summary • CCMC is the child of George Siscoe’s GEM ideas • Models available to research community • CCMC very interested to expand: • Positive relations with model developers • Positive relations with modeling activities (CISM, MURIs, CSEM…) • Close working relation with NOAA/SEC, AF/SMC, AFWA • Service to research community • Support of flight missions: STEREO, THEMIS • CCMC wants to remain flexible to offer best service: - Your input/requests/needs are essential!
