Open Geospace General Circulation Model
Information about OpenGGCM:
- Coupled global magnetosphere - ionosphere - thermosphere model.
- 3d Magnetohydrodynamic magnetosphere model.
- Coupled with NOAA/SEC 3d dynamic/chemistry ionosphere - thermosphere model (CTIM).
- Coupled with inner magnetosphere / ring current models: Rice U. RCM, NASA/GSFC CRCM.
- Model runs on demand (>500 so far) provided at the Community Coordinated Modeling Center
(CCMC at NASA/GSFC). http://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
- Fully parallelized code, real-time capable. Runs on IBM/datastar,
IA32/I64 based clusters, PS3 clusters, and other hardware.
- Used for basic research, numerical experiments, hypothesis testing, data analysis support,
NASA/THEMIS mission support, mission planning, space weather studies, and
Numerical Space Weather Forecasting in the future.
- Funding from NASA/LWS, NASA/TR&T, NSF/GEM, NSF/ITR, NSF/PetaApps, AF/MURI programs.
