A. Heliospheric Modeling
Need for Heliospheric Simulations § Very little of the inner heliosphere can be directly sampled - many phenomena are of global scale; cannot be well understood by observations at a point or in a plane § Similar coronal ejecta may appear differently in the heliosphere due to their interactions with background solar wind or with other transient disturbances § Models are absolutely necessary for interpreting the available observations § Models will play a key role in space weather applications
Solar Wind Parameters Large variations in plasma parameters between the Sun and Earth Different regions involve different processes and phenomena We distinguish between the coronal and heliospheric regions with an interface located in the super-critical flow region (usually 18 -30 Rs)
ENLIL – 3 -D Solar Wind Model • Mathematical Description: - ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) approximation - additional equations for injected mass and polarity tracking • Method of Solution: - explicit finite-difference scheme - modified Lax-Friedrichs Total-Variation-Diminishing algorithm - parallelization by domain-decomposition • Inputs: - Analytical, empirical, or numerical coronal models - Net. CDF file format • Outputs: - Distribution at specified time levels - Temporal evolution at specified positions - Net. CDF file format
Currently Supported Input Data • Analytic Models: - structured solar wind (bi-modal, tilted) - over-pressured plasma cloud (3 -D) - magnetic flux-rope (3 -D in progress) • Empirical Models: - WSA source surface - SAIC source surface - CME cone model (location, diameter, and speed) • Numerical Models: - SAIC coronal model (ambient + transient outflow)
Heliospheric Simulations • Using Available Data Sets: Visualize, analyze, and utilize a large collection of data sets obtained during representative periods and events • Using Available Modeling System: Prepare input data using existing initialization procedures and data sets, and configure the existing numerical model • Writing New Initialization Procedures: Develop new initialization procedures to produce input data for the code, incorporate them into the ENKI portal, and run the existing numerical model • Writing New Computational Procedures: Develop new computational procedures, incorporate them into the ENLIL model as well as the ENKI portal, and use the existing initialization system to run the modified code
B. Access to Available Data Sets
Community Data Portal (CDP) – Storage Resources Broker (SRB) CDP SRB NCAR, Unidata NSF, UCSD, General Atomic NCAR systems Multi-platform Net. CDF Multi-format Web-based Installation needed
Community Data Portal The Community Data Portal (CDP) is a collection of earth science datasets from NCAR, UOP, and participating organizations A central gateway to the large and diversified datasets in the following research areas: § oceanic § atmospheric § space weather § turbulence Web-based portal with the following functionality: § data search § metadata browsing § data download § analysis and visualization NCAR/SCD project supported by NSF/Cyberinfrastructure Strategic Initiative
Community Data Portal – Main Interface [ http: //dataportal. ucar. edu ]
Community Data Portal – Data Sets § Representative 3 -D interactions in structured wind (hypothetic scenarios) § Ambient solar wind for selected Carrington rotations (empirical models) § Transient heliospheric disturbances for selected event (MURI, CISM, SHINE) driven by empirical models) § Interplanetary consequences of coronal magnetic eruptions (coupled coronal and heliospheric numerical models)
Example – Providing a Global Context § Development of tools for utilizing multi-point in-situ observations § Analysis of various in-situ observations for selected (computed) events

May 12, 1997 Halo CME Running difference images fitted by the cone model
CME Cone Model Best fitting for May 12, 1997 halo CME • latitude: N 3. 0 • longitude: W 1. 0 • angular width: 50 deg • velocity: 650 km/s at 24 Rs (14: 15 UT) • acceleration: 18. 5 m/s 2 [ Zhao et al. , 2001 ]
Boundary Conditions Ambient Solar Wind + Plasma Cloud
Latitudinal Distortion of ICME Shape ICME propagates into bi-modal solar wind
Radial Compression of ICME Structure Fast stream follows the ICME
Evolution of Density Structure ICME propagates into the enhanced density of a streamer belt flow
Propagation of Energetic Particles Early time IMF line connected to Earth bypasses the shock structure => Interplanetary CME-driven shock cannot generate energetic particles observed at Earth Later time IMF line connected to Earth passes through the shock structure => Quasi-perpendicular shock can generate energetic particles under certain circumstances
Energetic Particles & Radio Emission Global view Detailed view Important effect occurs away from the Sun-Earth line Enhanced shock interaction together with quasiperpendicular propagation relative to IMF lines favors particle acceleration and generation of radio emission
Evolution of Parameters at Earth
May 12, 1997 – Interplanetary Shock Distribution of parameters in equatorial plane Evolution of velocity on Sun-Earth line 0. 2 AU 0. 4 AU 0. 6 AU 0. 8 AU • Shock propagates in a fast stream and merges with its leading edge 1. 0 AU
Case A 1 Case A 3 Fast-Stream Position [ SAIC maps -- Pete Riley ] Ambient state before the CME launch Disturbed state during the CME launch Ambient state after the CME launch
Effect of Fast-Stream Position Case A 1 Case A 3 Earth : Interaction region followed by shock and CME (not observed) Earth : Shock and CME (observed but 3 -day shift is too large)
Case A 2 Case B 2 Fast-Stream Evolution [ SAIC maps -- Pete Riley ] Ambient state before the CME launch Disturbed state during the CME launch Ambient state after the CME launch
Effect of Fast-Stream Evolution Case A 2 Earth : Interaction region followed by shock and CME (not observed) Case B 2 Earth : Shock and CME (observed but shock front is radial)
Conclusions – 1 of 2 • It becomes possible to: - simulate ambient solar wind parameters - estimate arrival of shock and ejecta - provide a global context • It is not possible to: - reproduce detail locations of stream boundaries - reproduce an internal magnetic structure of ICMEs
Conclusions – 2 of 2 • Key areas needing development: - consensus on what mechanisms lead to and launch CME - how to characterize the inputs given the sparse nature of the observations - improved treatment of reconnection - self-consistent (or at least much improved) inclusion of energetic particles on global scale - framework for modeling, visualization, and analysis
