Enhanced Ionospheric Electrodynamics Mapping with AMIEPy

Assimilative mapping of ionospheric electrodynamics using SuperDARN line-of-sight velocity and SuperMAG ground magnetic perturbations with AMIE algorithm for improved estimate of electric potential uncertainty. The AMIEPy architecture includes data tables, dependencies on external libraries, modules, and classes for observation preparation, basis function tables, wrapper classes calling external models, and more. The SuperDARN observation prep glossary and SuperMAG observation prep classes are highlighted, as well as the conductance models employed in OvationPyme. The auroral conductance model, EUV conductance model, and background information for AMIEPy is detailed, referencing key studies. The comparison of AMIEPy with DMSP for ion drift velocity prediction is discussed, emphasizing the optimization of uncertainty assigned to SuperMAG observations.
