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.

该奖项由 2009 年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法 111-5）资助。该合作团队计划研究距太阳较远距离的行星际日冕物质抛射 (ICME) 的演化。他们希望找出现有模型无法准确描述 ICME 演变的原因。 有了这些知识，主要研究者 (PI) 将能够通过修正边界条件来改进这些模型，或者开发一个描述 ICME 几何和运动学演化的新模型。 然后，该团队将评估他们得到的模型作为空间天气预报的工具。 这项工作涉及对日冕仪和行星际数据、EUV 图像以及各种航天器（包括 SOHO、STEREO、ACE、Coriolis、WIND 和 Ulysses）上仪器的现场观测进行详细分析。合作者已经设计了一种新的数据驱动模型，能够从负责 CME 演化的参数（例如与周围行星际介质的相互作用、CME 的扩展）中提取与 CME 起源相关的参数（例如相对几何形状和汤姆逊散射强度）。 ，和 MHD 物理）。 因此，PI 希望完成对日冕物质抛射 3D 属性的首次调查，并允许对负责日冕物质抛射出现和演化的参数进行分类和比较。首席 PI 是 NRC 研究员，而次要 PI 是一位女科学家和最近的 SHINE 博士后。 该项目对于这两位有前途的年轻科学家在职业生涯初期的职业发展非常重要。 他们的联合项目提供了一个机会来提高我们对行星际介质中日冕物质抛射演化的总体理解以及空间天气预报能力。 该团队的新 ICME 模型将实现 SHINE 科学目标并提高空间天气预报的准确性。
