3D Simulation Results: Model: BATSRUS,
Run: July 15, 2000, SP2_new, 0.25 R_E resolution

This is the web interface for the visualization of results of a three-dimensional simulation of the Earth's environment.

Please review the default selections below and make your changes.

To start the graphics program click the Update Plot button. The resulting image will be displayed at this location of the page.

Should the result be a black image, then the graphics program encountered a programming error. Please report the set of input parameters used.

Go back to web page of run

Update Plot will update (generate) the plot with the chosen time and plot parameters below.
This will take some time (typically 10-30s) as data is read in and processed.

Choose data time:

- or -
Change time by moving
output steps

- or -

Create GIF movie with current plot settings (not for SWX plot modes)
Note: This is a queue submission system requiring the following three additional inputs:

Start Time:
End Time:
Email address for notification (replace the example email address with yours):

Note: The movie will be requested but NOT be shown in this interface. You will get an email with a download URL when the request has been completed (this will take at least a few minutes).
Only one request can be pending at a time for each client IP or email address.

Plot Options:

Exclude region around the Earth up to R_E

Image magnification
(all images; use >=1.25 for 3D Flowlines)

Line thickness (flow lines, arrows)

Character thickness (all annotations)

SWX line thickness (Adjust the thickness of the streamlines manually)

SWX Streamline Type

Allow variable plot image size
(all 2D plots: aspect ratio dx/dy between 0.3 and 4)

Show simulation grid (disabled with 3D-Surface)

Show magnetopause (positions in 2D cuts passing within 12 R_E of Earth will be listed at the bottom)
Tolerance (between 0.01 and 1 R_E):

Interpolate data onto equidistant grid (available with 3D-Surface and Vector; recommended for plots with Vector)

Choose Plot Mode: Choose quantity to be displayed (some Plot Modes require up to three choices):
Q 1: Q 2: Q 3:
Note: divergences, gradients and curls are not yet available with SWX plot modes.

Plot Options for selected Plot Modes:

3D-Surface, 3D-Flowlines:

   AZ [-180 ... 180]:

Color Contour:
    Use Grayscale
    Number of Levels
    Lock color range:

Contour:
    show values with contour levels
Number of Levels
    Lock range:
       Min.: Max.:
    Log scale (use all data>0 in non-negative fields)

Vector:
length of arrows:
    Normalize arrow length
       Unit arrow length at:
    Log scale (scale arrows logarithmically)

3D-Flowlines:
flowline start positions
Choose Flowline Setup Mode:
user-defined flowline start positions:

X:
Y:
Z:

Plot to VRML

Choose Plot Area:
  All Plot Modes except Line Plot and Vertical Plot:   Select lower left corner of plot area on the left, and the upper right corner on the right.
  Line Plot: Select start point of line on the left, the end point on the right.
  Vertical Plot: Select X and Y position on the left.

Choose Cut Plane:

X₁	X₂	Range: -360 ... 24 R_E	X=constant
Y₁	Y₂	Range: -96 ... 96 R_E	Y=constant
Z₁	Z₂	Range: -96 ... 96 R_E	Z=constant

Reset Form will reset changes to the defaults specified by the previous run of this script.
Update Plot will update (generate) the plot with the chosen time and plot parameters above.

List Data (check to get any of the following outputs which apply to movie requests as well):

What:

Plot variables from above
Include all primary model output parameters (Warning: text files may become large).
You have to select vector magnitudes (e.g., "B","V","J") explicitly for plotting to get them:
computed scalars such as
derived vectors (e.g, "JxB"): select one component or its magnitude to get all components

Include parameters from this list in addition to those selected for the plot: (copy names from Q1 list above and separate them with commas).

Where:

At positions specified: enter positions in X, Y, Z, (within the allowed range) as comma-separated lists.

List Data From Plot:

2D plots (Contour, Vector, ...):
equidistant 61x61-element grid in cut plane (Interpolate data onto equidistant grid selected)
max. 44000 grid positions (Interpolate data onto equidistant grid unchecked)
LinePlot: data along line plotted,
3D-Flowlines:
- Text output: start and end points of flow lines with topology and exit status of line segment tracings,
- Tar archive: model output data along flowlines with user-defined start points.
