Abstract
Modeling the terrestrial impacts of the sun’s solar wind is critical to
understanding geomagnetic storms. We use a database of 144 storms from
2010-2019 and showed how these storms affect magnetometers on the
ground. We also extracted profiles of the magnetic field along the
magnetotail. Skill scores are assigned to the individual stations on the
ground based on how well they can forecast magnetic indeces like SYM-H
and AL. We us our Space Weather Modeling Framework’s geospace
configuration. Our model includes coupling of 3D MHD solver (BATSRUS),
the Rice Convection Model, and the Ridley Ionospheric Model. We have
found that all stations have a positive Heidke Skill Score which is
encouraging in terms of space weather forecasting.
