Simulation Grid Choices for BATSRUS Model

CCMC is offering two grids for BATSRUS runs:

Grid with 1,958,688 cells:

Simulation box size:
-250 R_E < x < 33 R_E|z|, |y| < 48
The finest resolution for this grid in near-tail and dayside magnetopause is1/4 R_E.

Grid with 755,136 cells:

Simulation box size:
-250 R_E < x < 33 R_E|z|, |y| < 48
The finest resolution for this grid is 1/4 R_E around the earth. Finest resolution in near-tail and magnetopause is 0.5 R_E.

You can examine the grids in more detail by viewing the results of a particular run and choosing the "Show simulation grid" option.

Please note that if run duration is 12 or more hours, the grid with lower number of cells will be automatically chosen for your run. If you require a special grid, please specify so in the "Special Request" box at the end of run submission and/or contact the CCMC staff.
