Improving Global Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of the Interaction of the Solar Wind with the Magnetosphere and Ionosphere System
Abstract
Prediction of space weather phenomena can help mitigate the impacts of magnetic storms at Earth. Space weather observations are sparse so the emphasis in space weather prediction is necessarily on theoretical models of space weather phenomena. One approach to that is to use results from an ensemble of theoretical models. In this project we plan to take first steps in that direction using the solar wind, magnetosphere and ionosphere simulations currently being used in Korea and at UCLA.
