GEM-CEDAR Challenge
The CEDAR-GEM Challenge was initiated during the Summer 2011 Joint CEDAR-GEM Workshop and is build upon GEM GGCM and CEDAR ETI Challenges. The project focuses on various scientific and operational aspects of magnetosphere and ionosphere models performance and addresses challenges of model-data comparisons and metrics studies (e.g., model output and observational time series preparation for comparison, measurement uncertainty, metrics selection). A list of selected events, lists of physical parameters and available measurements, model output file formats for each metrics study, and submission instructions can be found at the GEM-CEDAR Metrics Suite.
Main Focuses
- Model Validation Projects
- Quantification of the storm effects on Ionosphere-Thermosphere
- Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis
- Role of drivers
- Climatology Assessment of Ionosphere/Thermosphere Models
CEDAR-GEM Modeling Challenge Session at 2017 mini-GEM Workshop
The session will be held on 10 December, 2017 (3:30-5:00 pm, in the St. Charles Room of the Hilton Garden Inn New Orleans Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana)
Tentative presentations and topics for discussion:
- foF2/TEC response to the March 2013 storm event: Ioanna Tsagouri (NOA) and Ja Soon Shim (GSFC/CUA)
- Ionospheric quiet time climatology during 2012: Larisa Goncharenko (MIT)
- New developments in Madrigal and its use for TEC studies : Anthea Coster (MIT)
- ROTI/Scintillations: Endawoke Yizengaw (BC)
- Discussion:
-
- What is the anticipated outcome of our ionospheric metric studies?
- How can a proper metrics be chosen for our ionospheric studies?
