The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $203,902.74 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a time-dependent simulation model of the inner heliosphere and solar wind environment. The project aims to improve scientific understanding and space weather forecasting by incorporating data-assimilative photospheric magnetic field maps into a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model. Key tasks include integrating time-varying inputs from the ADAPT-WSA model, developing selection metrics for the model ensemble, performing multi-year simulations, and providing simulation results through an interactive web interface. This effort is directly relevant to NASA and NOAA goals, as it will enhance operational space weather services. The award does not have a set-aside designation.
