On the performance of global magnetohydrodynamic models in the Earth's magnetosphere

Raeder, J.; Wiltberger, M.; Palmroth, M. +5 more

We study the performance of four magnetohydrodynamic models (BATS-R-US, GUMICS, LFM, OpenGGCM) in the Earth's magnetosphere. Using the Community Coordinated Modeling Center's Run-on-Request system, we compare model predictions with magnetic field measurements of the Cluster, Geotail and Wind spacecraft during a multiple substorm event. We also com…
