This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This collaborative team plans to investigate the evolution of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) at large distances from the Sun. They expect to identify the reasons that existing models do not accurately describe this ICME evolution. With this knowledge, the principal investigators (PI) will either be able to improve these models with corrected boundary conditions, or develop a new model describing the geometrical and kinematic evolution of ICMEs. The team then will evaluate their resulting model as a tool for space weather forecasting. This work involves the detailed analysis of coronagraph and interplanetary data, EUV images, and in situ observations from instruments on a variety of spacecraft, including SOHO, STEREO, ACE, Coriolis, WIND, and Ulysses. The collaborators have already devised a new data-driven model with the ability to extract parameters related to CME origins (such as relative geometry and Thomson scattered intensity) from those responsible for CME evolution (such as interactions with surrounding interplanetary medium, expansion of the CME, and MHD physics). The PIs thus expect to complete the first survey of the 3D properties of CMEs and allow the classification and comparison of the parameters responsible for CME appearance and evolution. The lead PI is an NRC Fellow while the secondary PI is a female scientist and recent SHINE postdoc. This project is important for the career development of these two promising young scientists at the beginning of their careers. Their joint project offers an opportunity to improve our general understanding of CME evolution in the interplanetary medium, as well as space weather prediction capabilities. The team's new ICME model will address SHINE science goals and improve the accuracy of space weather forecasts.

该奖项是根据2009年的《美国回收与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。该协作团队计划调查行星际冠状动脉质量弹射（ICMES）在距太阳大距离的发展。他们希望确定现有模型无法准确描述这种ICME演变的原因。 有了这些知识，主要研究人员（PI）将能够通过校正的边界条件改善这些模型，或者开发一个描述ICMES几何和运动学演化的新模型。 然后，该团队将评估其最终模型，作为空间天气预报的工具。 这项工作涉及对冠状动脉和行星际数据，EUV图像的详细分析，以及从各种航天器上的仪器观察到的原位观察，包括SOHO，Stereo，Ace，Ace，Coriolis，Coriolis，Wind和Ulysses。合作者已经设计了一个新的数据驱动模型，该模型能够从负责CME进化的人（例如与周围的跨层次介质的相互作用，CME的扩展，CME和MHD物理学的相互作用（例如与周围的媒介相互作用，例如相对几何和汤姆森分散的强度）相关的参数（例如相对几何和汤姆森分散的强度）。 因此，PI希望完成对CME的3D属性的首次调查，并允许对负责CME外观和演变的参数进行分类和比较。铅PI是NRC的研究员，而次要PI是女科学家，并且是最近的Shine PostDoc。 该项目对于这两位有前途的年轻科学家在职业生涯开始时的职业发展很重要。 他们的联合项目提供了一个机会，可以提高我们对行星际介质中CME进化以及太空天气预测能力的一般理解。 该团队的新ICME模型将解决Shine Science目标，并提高太空天气预报的准确性。
