CCMC Metadata Registry (CMR)

Inner magnetosphere model options (with RCM or without RCM / CRCM)

Property indicating whether solar wind is a fixed value ('fixed') or varies ('var', i.e., uploaded as a file or obtained from a data set).

Property indicating source of solar wind data

Flag indicating whether to automatically de-spike solar wind (optional for automatically retrieved data only; use when solar wind data shown in next page have clusters of extreme values in plasma density, temperature or velocity).

De-spike threshold (standard deviations)

De-spike length (number of samples in cluster of extreme values to be eliminated)

Indicates how solar wind Bx is set:

Set Bx to a specified constant ('user')
Set Bx to the initial solar wind data value ('init')
Use average Bx from solar wind data ('auto')

Time-dependent solar wind input only; if set, this value will overwrite Bx values in the solar wind input or will be set in the model's control file.

By coefficient

Bz coefficient

Magnitude of IMF

IMF clock angle

Bx component of IMF (Interplanetary Magnetic Field). IMF is a geomagnetic index used in external magnetic field model computation. It corresponds to the part of the Sun's magnetic field that is carried into interplanetary space by the solar wind. The three orthogonal components of the IMF are Bx, By and Bz. Bx and By are oriented parallel to the ecliptic. The IMF is a weak field, varying in strength near the Earth from 1 to 37 nT, with an average value of about 6 nT.

Specifies an Ionosphere Conductivity Model to be used for the run:

F10.7 - solar radio flux at 10.7 cm - used as a measure of solar activity

Solar wind link

Solar wind density floor value

Flag indicating the solar wind density has been floored with SW_density_floor value to ensure that the model will run through the requested time interval.

Minimum solar wind Fast-Mode mach number

Flag indicating whether solar wind velocity, density or dynamic pressure are large. If they are, the run is a special request requiring attention by CCMC staff. The variables will be accepted unless they exceed certain absolute maximum values.

Name of solar wind plot

Flag indicating whether dipole updates throughout the run (True) or dipole set to start time of run (False)

Dipole time

Dipole tilt

Y component of dipole tilt

Flag indicating whether to enable corotation around fixed dipole orientation

Flag indicating whether to use RCM inner magnetosphere model

Flag indicating whether to use CIMI inner magnetosphere model

Flag indicating whether to generate HDF output files

Flag indicating whether to generate magnetometer output files
