SMRAI with SuperDARN Data Assimilation for Substorm Analysis
Abstract
SMRAI with SuperDARN Data Assimilation for Substorm Analysis File - predict_al_au_figure2.ipynb * Downloads OMNI solar wind data for specified time ranges (You can select date 20231030 or 20231031) * Employs SMRAI2 models (modelp099_250.sav and modelw099_300.sav) to predict electric potential and Hall conductivity * Uploads the eletric field files for the SMRAI2.1 w/ and w/o DA methods * Interpolates conductivity fields from SMRAI2 grid onto the SMRAI2.1 spatial grid for comparison * Computes AL/AU indices from derived Hall currents in the auroral zone (60-70° latitude band) * Evaluates three different AL/AU series: * SMRAI2 model predictions * SMRAI2.1 control runs (without data assimilation) * SMRAI2.1 with SuperDARN data assimilation (SMRAI2.1_DAssim) * Generates time series comparison plots visualizing the performance of each approach File- all_para_plot_figure4.ipynb * Generates detailed spatial visualization plots at selected time intervals (You can change time and date) * Creates multi-panel polar plots displaying ionospheric potential fields (For SMRAI2. SMRAI2.1, SMRAI2.1 w/ SuperDARN DA), conductivity distributions, field-aligned current (FAC) patterns, and SuperDARN observational coverage * Enables visual inspection of model outputs and their spatial relationships during specific substorm phases
