List of Run Input Parameter Grouping and their associated properties :

Name Description Caveats Properties
All settings for SAMI3 model
All settings used to run SAMI3 model
Name Description Caveats Units Default Value or Actual Value Valid Min Valid Max
vw
constant vertical wind (cm/s)
-best to leave vw=0
cm/s 0.
maxstep
maximum number of time steps
- for a normal run (e.g., 48 hrs), this is a large integer, e.g., maxstep = 10000000
- for testing/debugging it can be set to a smaller number, e.g., maxstep = 10
1000000
hrmax
runtime (hrs)
- maximum runtime is hrmax = 168 (7 days)
- nominal minimum runtime is hrmax = 36
(it takes ∼ 12 hrs for the ionosphere to develop)
120.000
dthr
output cadence (hrs)
- nominal output cadence is dthr = 0.25 (15 min)
- for testing/debugging it can be reduced to output data more often
hours .25
hrpr
time data starts to be output
- nominally hrpr = 0 and data is output from beginning of the run
- alternatively, if hrmax = 48 and hrpr = 24, data is output starting after the first day
(this reduces the size of the output files)
hours 24.
dt0
maximum time step (sec)
- should be in the range 2 - 8 sec
- the larger dt0, the faster the code runs in general
- however, depending on geophysical conditions and the grid, the code can give un- physical
results if initially too large (e.g., dt0 = 8)

- use caution when changing, e.g., tvn0 = 2 will double the neutral wind speed
1.
tvexb0
modifies the magnitude of the E × B velocity
- nominally tvexb0 = 1
- use caution when changing, e.g., tvexb0 = 0 will set the E × B drift to 0

0.
gams
adjusts grid spacing along the magnetic field line
- best to leave gams = .1
.1
gamp
adjusts grid spacing in latitude
- best to leave gams = 2.5
2.5
snn
multiplier for neutral densities
- the 7 entries correspond to the 7 neutral species in ‘parameter mod.f90’
- for example, if snn = 1.,2.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1., then the oxygen neutral density is doubled
1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.,1.
stn
multiplier for the neutral temperature
- this will change the ion temperatures because of ion-neutral coupling - it will not change the scale height of the neutrals
