This project is entitled ""Adaptive high-order magnetosphere simulation module for space weather"".
The project team will develop a computer-based model of the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere to help predict space weather. Energetic particles ejected by the Sun often trigger disturbances in the magnetosphere. It is very important to understand these disturbances as they impact activities on the ground, in the air, and in space. The team will use data from many Canadian instrument arrays deployed across Canada to develop and test their computer-based models.
