Description

All data used in the paper, "Connecting energy input with ionospheric upflow and outflow", which will be published in JGR Space Physics, by Glocer and Daldorff is included in this repository. The organization of the repository is as follows. The data is organized by figure with the data used in each figure provided. Many of the figures take data from multiple simulations so a given figure may have multiple runs included that will have a name like:

F107_180_Precipitiation_100eV_Scan_8.852e+00

Such a name shows the F10.7 index (180 in this case), the parameter being scanned over (energy flux of Precipitation with 100eV characteristic energy), and the value of the simulation contained in the directory. Within each such simulation directory there are multiple files including:

PARAM.in - file defining the parameters used in a given simulation. This is the actual file used to conduct the PWOM simulation.

north_plots_iline0001.out - output file for PWOM run giving a sequence of snapshot of multiple state varaibles as a function of altitude. PWOM data is in a simple format and can be read with spacepy (specific fork:
https://github.com/aglocer/spacepy) or with your own reader. 

north_neutral_iline0001.out - neutral atmosphere output from MSIS for the given simulation.

se_integrated_0001.out - production rate and superthermal electron values for the given run calculated from the GLOW output.

CollisionFreq_*+_0001.out - collision frequency as a function of altitude for H+ or O+.

Additionally, the initial condition "restart" files for all the runs are provided in a directory called "initial_conditions". These files can be used together with the PARAM.in files and the PWOM source code available as part of the SWMF to reproduce all the data provided in this repository.
