##Summary:
BETA PRODUCT. ENSEMBLE PRODUCT IS STILL IN THE DEVELOPMENT MODE. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR MODIFICATIONS.

Ensemble modeling update on CME with ID 2014-02-19T16:00:00-CME-001 (see notification 20140220-AL-001). Based on heliospheric ensemble modeling carried out at NASA GSFC Space Weather Research Center, it is estimated that the CME may impact Earth. Out of 36 ensemble members (see notes section), 32 indicate impact at Earth. Ensemble simulations indicate that the leading edge of the CME will reach Earth between about 2014-02-21T23:45Z and 2014-02-23T01:31Z (average arrival 2014-02-22T12:20Z). The roughly estimated ensemble-based expected range of the maximum Kp index is 3-5 (below minor to minor).

## Notes:
SWRC CME ensemble is obtained by building sets of initial CME parameters and by carrying out separate simulations for each set. This approach will allow mapping of uncertainties in the initial CME parameters into statistical characterization of the CME impact at locations of interest.

Description of links: The first two links show the WSA-ENLIL+Cone model animation for the median ensemble member, the third link is a histogram of predicted arrival times, and the remaining links show the WSA-ENLIL+Cone model density, velocity, magnetic field, and temperature at Earth.
