Ipe transport #34

Closed gmillward closed 4 years ago

twfang commented 4 years ago

The updated transport code helps to remove many problems in IPE.

TEC on 0316 from develop branch: tec_develop

TEC on 0316 from ipe_transport branch: tec_transport

The odd nighttime density feature disappears after modifying the transport scheme. The overall O+ density and velocity also look more reasonable without the 200km constraint.

O+ density from develop branch (0316 12UT): oplus_develop_03161200

O+ density from ipe_transport branch (0316 12UT): oplus_trans_03161200

Results from a different UT O+ density from develop branch (0317 0UT): oplus_develop_031700

O+ density from ipe_transport branch (0317 0UT): oplus_transport_031700

O+ velocity from develop branch (0317 0UT): voplus_develop_031700

O+ velocity from ipe_transport branch (0317 0UT): voplus_trans_031700

I am running the model through two different storms. Once those results look good, we will merge it to the develop branch.

The E region odd feature we have seen before also disappeared.

Ne at 150 km from develop branch: ne_Eregion_develop

Ne at 150 km from ipe_transport branch: ne_Eregion_trans

I have looked at the outputs carefully and ran the whole package through 2013/2015/2003 storms. No issue has been found. The IPE code needs some clean-up and is ready to be merged into the develop branch.
