Physics-Based Modeling Activity from the Solar Surface to the Earth's Atmosphere Including Magnetosphere and Ionosphere at NICT

Abstract

We present the development of physics-based models of solar-terrestrial regions from the solar surface to the Earth’s atmosphere at NICT. Our models consist of three regions: (1) the solar surface and solar wind, (2) the Earth’s magnetosphere-ionosphere, and (3) a model of the whole atmosphere from the troposphere to the ionosphere, called the Ground to Topside Model of Atmosphere and Ionosphere for Aeronomy (GAIA). We also have a solar wind and CME model, Space-weather-forecast-Usable System Anchored by Numer…
