Abstract:
|
The magnetosphere is a protective bubble formed by the Earth's magnetic field that impedes the transfer of energy and plasma from solar wind. Understanding how the electric currents and fields behave in the magnetosphere is a part of the larger effort focused on space weather prediction. The LFM-MIX is a computer model that is a part of this effort and simulates interactions between the magnetosphere and the ionized portion of the Earth's upper atmosphere. Based on a collaborative effort between scientists in NCAR's High Altitude Observatory and statisticians, this poster will outline our efforts to both calibrate and validate the LFM-MIX model.
