CCMC Mission Statement
The CCMC is a multi-agency partnership to enable, support and perform the research and development for next-generation space science and space weather models.
Student Research Contest
CCMC and NSF announce the first CCMC Student Research Contest: undergraduate and graduate students using (or having used) the CCMC tools and services in a research project or in a project as part of their coursework are encouraged to apply. Winners are to present their work at the upcoming GEM or SHINE workshops this summer, receiving travel support.
Model Additions/Updates at the CCMC
- GITM 2.0 is now available for Runs-On-Request
- CORHEL 4.7.0 is now available for runs on request
- SAMI3 replaced SAMI2
- CTIPe version 2.0 has replaced CTIP version 1.0
- TIE-GCM 1.94.1 has replaced TIE-GCM 1.93
GEM-CEDAR Modeling Challenge
CCMC is supporting the CEDAR-GEM Modeling Challenge that is build upon GEM GGCM and CEDAR ETI Challenges. Metrics studies discussed at the mini-workshop in San Francisco in December 2011: Poynting Flux/Joule heating, Auroral boundaries, Role of drivers on ionosphere model results, Total Electron Content.
CCMC Services
- We provide, to the scientific community, access to modern space research models
- We test and evaluate models
- We support Space Weather forecasters
- We support space science education
Latest Additions to the CCMC Services
- Integrated Space Weather Analysis System is a web-based dissemination system for NASA-relevant space weather information.
- Space Weather Awareness at NASA space weather information portal.
- LWS Supported Tools and Methods
- Kameleon software: model output from different models can now be stored uniformly in a common science data format. Users can request the CDF-formatted output for a CCMC run.
- Movies on Request: you can now request to generate a movie, images and ASCII data files for each time step of a model run.
- CCMC Space Weather on Google Earth: CCMC is now providing space weather-related Google Earth overlays.
