SWMF/IE=Ridley_serial (20180525)

Space Weather Modeling Framework w/ IE=Ridley ionosphere potential solver

Model Description

The SWMF is a software framework that allows integration of various models into a coherent system. The SWMF allows running and coupling any meaningful subset of the models together. The main applications of the SWMF are related to space physics and space weather, but it can be, and has been, used for other applications that the models allow. 

Ionospheric Electrodynamics (IE) = Ridley_serial
The magnetospheric MHD part is attached to an ionospheric potential solver that provides electric potentials and conductances in the ionosphere from magnetospheric field-aligned currents.

Model Inputs Description

General SWMF inputs include setting the number of processors and their allocation to the included models.  The date and time to simulate and the length of the run are also necessary.

In addition, an input file with a large number of code options is read in.

Model Outputs Description

Outputs from IE include code restart files and plot files with a wide variety of magnetospheric plasma parameters, such as electric potential PHI, and Hall and Pedersen conductances Sigma_H, Sigma_P.

Model Caveats

This is the version used in the SWMF 2018 as Ionospheric Electrodynamics (IE) component,  Ridley_serial version 1.10
