Computational issues modeling the magnetosphere

by Tom Fogal — last modified Feb 19, 2007 07:39 PM
J. Raeder of SSC/UNH will discuss the computational limitations in modeling the earth's magnetosphere. The magnetosphere surrounds Earth and shields it from the solar wind and energetic particle radiation originating from the sun and the cosmos. Understanding and predicting Earth's geospace environment, now called `Space Weather', has become increasingly important over the past decades because of the possibly harmful effects on assets like communications satellites, and the risks it poses to human activity in space.

I will outline the approaches used to construct computer models of this environment, in particular, how the equations are cast into a form that allows for a computational solution, and the challenges that we are facing.

This talk will include free pizza!


As a chapter of the National Association for Computing Machinery, the UNH ACM seeks to provide students with opportunities for communication, learning, resource-sharing and even friendly competitions. We are a student run and focused organization, always looking for new members and opinions on what the UNH ACM should be. If you are interested in getting involved with the ACM, you only need to show up to a meeting! You can also join our email list by sending an email to: ListProc@lists.unh.edu with the text ``subscribe acm.members Your Name'' and get involved with our discussions there. We look forward to hearing from you!
