Global Observing System Simulation Experiments of the Ionosphere, Thermosphere and Plasmasphere
Abstract
The overall goal of this project was to set up a simulation framework and testbed for ionosphere-thermosphere (IT) data assimilation that could be used to investigate: a) the impact of sensor systems upon the performance of data assimilation algorithms; b) the impact of improvements in data assimilative algorithms upon the performance of those data assimilative algorithms; c) the impact of different choices of inputs to data assimilative models and other configuration choices upon the performance of data assimilation algorithms. New ground and satellite data systems are constantly being proposed with different spatial-temporal configurations, and it is not clear what will maximize the impact on data assimilation performance. In particular, for this project, where the performance is quantized in terms of applications of interest to the Air Force, the metrics used to assess performance are applied systems metrics.
