This is a library of codes that allows running different models of the high latitude ionospheric electrodynamics. Available auroral models: - Feature Tracking of the Auroral (FTA): Requires AU and AL indices - Fuller Rowell and Evans [1986]: Requires hemispheric power, which can be derived using the AE index. - OVATION-Prime: Requires IMF and solar wind. - OVATION-SME: Requires AE. Available electric potential models: - Weimer: Requires IMF and solar wind. - Heppner-Maynard: Requires IMF and Kp. Available file formats: - Binary file from AMIE files. Products that can be provided: - High-latitude electric potential (in kV) - Diffuse auroral electron total energy flux (in mW/m2 or ergs/cm2/s) - Diffuse auroral electron average energy (in keV) - Diffuse auroral ion total energy flux (in mW/m2 or ergs/cm2/s) - Diffuse auroral ion average energy (in keV) - Monoenergetic auroral electron total energy flux (in mW/m2 or ergs/cm2/s) - Monoenergetic auroral electron average energy (in keV) - Wave-driven auroral electron total energy flux (in mW/m2 or ergs/cm2/s) - Wave-driven auroral electron average energy (in keV) - Future: high-latitude field-aligned currents
