Abstract:
The Van Allen Probes (RBSP) is the second spacecraft mission in NASA’s Living with a Star program launched in 2012 August with the overarching goal to understand the processes in the near-Earth space that sculpt intensities of high energy particles in the radiation belts and ring current. To provide a centralized access to a wide-range of high-level plasma wave and particle data products across all instrument investigations of the Probes, a near-real-time processing of Space Weather (SpWx) data and subsequent deliver of the SpWx data products to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) in Bounder, CO. Over seven years of the Van Allen Probes mission the Science Gateway capabilities were dramatically expanded an now include a wide array of tools for mission planning, such as a multi-spacecraft conjunction calculator, computation of high-level data products such particle phase space density as a function of adiabatic invariants of motion, access to physics-based and data-derived models, including the latest empirical model of Earth’s geomagnetic field, and bibliography tools. In this presentation we will discuss recent development and new capabilities of the Science Gateway. In particular, we will focus on a newly implemented interactive pipeline for coordinated data and modeling analysis of coupled physical processes and Space Weather impacts across multiple physical domains from the inner heliosphere (https://rbspgway.jhuapl.edu/solvisdata)to Earth’s magnetosphere (https://rbspgway.jhuapl.edu/gamvisdata). This advanced capability provides a wide range of three-dimensional visualization tools of coupled model simulations, including global magnetospheric simulations of large geomagnetic storms, one-way-coupled to global test-particle simulations of radiation belt intensities, and augmented with machine learning tools. Quantitative comparison of model simulations with a wide array of spacecraft observations and a number of advanced Space Weather tools, such as computation of high-energy particle intensities and charging levels along a given spacecraft orbit are also illustrated.
