Heliophysics Laboratory Primer

This primer has been created to help you to:

1. use the CCMC tools designed to interrogate Heliophysics models at CCMC, and
2. obtain a top level view of the connectivity and naming of regions and parameters that comprize the heliophysics system.

Please do not hesitate to contact CCMC staff if you are experiencing difficulties with the Laboratory Primer and/or to ask questions about CCMC tools and services:

• Masha Kuznetsova Maria.M.Kuznetsova@nasa.gov
• Marshall Swindell (Space Weather Explorer) Marshall.j.Swindell@nasa.gov
• Lutz Rastaetter (On-line visualization tool) Lutz.Rastaetter-1@nasa.gov

The highest level picture of the Heliophysics system shows three components - the Sun, the solar wind, and the magnetosphere while buried inside the magnetosphere is the ionosphere and thermosphere. Click for the specific primer:

• Heliosphere
• Magnetosphere
• Ionosphere/Thermosphere

Space Weather Explorer 2 (SWX2)

This program requires Oracle's version of Java, available here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. Download the appropriate JRE version for your platform. Mac OSX users can use the operating system's bundled version of Java.
