The Community-based Whole Magnetosphere Model

Abstract

The main goals of the Community-based Whole Magnetosphere Model (CWMM) project were to: 1. Add more models to the Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF), including a plasmasphere model, a polar wind model, a radiation belt model, and a new ring current model. 2. Improve the physics within the existing models and improve the physics in the coupling between the different models. 3. Quantify the improvements within the CWMM as the models are added and the physics is altered. This will be done through running a series of events over and over again as the code(s) change, and through a real-time interface where the validation is performed automatically.
