Purpose
This project is entitled ""Modeling substorm dipolarization and energetic particle precipitation in the ionosphere"". The project team will develop a computer-based model showing the changes in the Earth's magnetic field that create energized electrons and other charged particles during geomagnetic storms. This represents a serious threat to satellites as their electronic components are sensitive to these particles. The team will use data from Canadian instrument arrays deployed across Canada that observe the ionosphere and aurora to develop and test their simulations.
