Experiment: Storm 2017
The Storm 2017 case was created to evaluate models during a geomagnetic storm at the minimum of the solar cycle 24.
The following models have been already evaluated:
A summarized comparison between them is shown in the Model Comparison section.
The figure shows the DST and Kp indexes during the days of interest of the study case. The corresponding storm starting at DOY 250 can be classified as a Strong event.
A total of eleven datasets were created to analyze DOYs 248-254 of 2017 (See next Table). Anyone interested to contribute to DIME should run ionospheric models for the corresponding DOYs, time (hour, minute and second) and location (latitude, longitude, altitude) of the dataset files in the Table.
After running the models, output files should be created exactly equals to the input files, however with new columns, corresponding to the obtained Ne, TEC, FoF2 or hmF2 by the user model. Results shared with DIME will be included online (if approved by the user).
More details in the guideline.
It is encouraged to use GNSS measurements as input observations in the modeling process. In this regard, DIME also provides GNSS data for the dates of interest. RINEX files of each DOY can be downloaded by clicking in the buttons.
