MHDEMP Code Simulation of Starfish

Abstract

The magnetic field variations on the ground after Starfish are calculated by the MHDEMP code using input parameters produced by the MICE code. The results agree well with the experimental data at Johnston Island. These magnetic field variations extend over large distances and may cause large potential fluctuations in long-line ground systems.
