Description

Weimer 2005 Electric & Magnetic Potential Models for IDL

The 2005 version of the “Weimer electric potential model,” as well as it’s twin model of magnetic potentials for mapping field-aligned currents.  The twin models are described in these publications:

Weimer, D. R., Improved ionospheric electrodynamic models and application to calculating Joule heating rates,  J. Geophys. Res., 110, A05306, doi:10.1029/2004JA010884, 2005.

Weimer, D. R., Predicting Surface Geomagnetic Variations Using Ionospheric Electrodynamic Models,  J. Geophys. Res., 110, A12307, doi:10.1029/2005JA011270, 2005.

This release of the code  uses the “Spherical Cap Harmonics,” as described in the second paper.  Currently the models and graphic utilities are only available as pre-compiled IDL code, which may be run with the (free) IDL Virtual Machine.

Instructions on the use of these files is contained in the document W05model_UsersGuide.pdf.
