Cosgrove-PF (2.0)

Cosgrove Poynting Flux

Model Description

Statistical model returning Poynting Flux (in W/m^2) energy flux into the ionosphere. The model was compiled using FAST satellite observations that are binned and mapped on magnetic coordinates.

Model Figure(s) :

  • SampleOutput 1 for Cosgrove-PF 2.0
  • SampleOutput2 for Cosgrove-PF 2.0
  • Model Inputs Description

    Solar wind Density (N in cm^-3), velocity V (in km/s), magnetic field Bx, By, Bz (in nT), Altitude (optional).

    Model Outputs Description

    Pattern of Poynting Flux distribution in auroral zone (> 50 degrees magnetic latitude), separate patterns for northern and southern hemisphere.

    Change Log

    The updated model accounts for asymmetries between the northern and southern hemisphere and thus outputs different patterns for each hemisphere.
