PPMLR Simulations

<p dir="ltr">These are the six PPMLR MHD simulation files used in the CMEM project. They are here courtesy of T. Sun from the National Space Science Centre in Beijing.</p><p dir="ltr">PPMLR (Parabolic Piecewise Method with Lagrangian Remap) is a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code developed in China used for creating global simulations of the Earth's magnetospheric environment. In this context, the results of a PPMLR simulation have been compared with an exospheric neutral density model in order to calculate the soft X-ray emissivity expected around the Earth's magnetosheath. It is these PPMLR-emissivity simulations uploaded here.</p><p dir="ltr">These simulations have been used for the upcoming publication titled: "Modeling the Magnetospheric 3D X-ray emission from SWCX using a Cusp-Magnetosheath Emissivity Model," which is being submitted to the Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics. The simulations were used to develop and test a new emissivity model called CMEM (Cusp Magnetosheath Emissivity Model) that will be used for magnetopause detection for the upcoming Solar Wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) mission.</p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr">Update 1st Oct 2024: The FITS versions of these files have also now been uploaded. </p><p><br></p>
