- Description
- BEI Statement of Work Earth System Modeling Framework Space Weather Modeling System. This is a follow-on research and development support effort to complete an Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF)-compliant Space Weather Modeling System (SWMS). The contractor will develop an ensemble forecast version of the Space Weather Modeling System (eSWMS), by coupling the Hakamada-Akasofu-Fry (HAFv2) Solar Wind Model, developed by Exploration Physics International, Huntsville, AL with the Global Assimilation of Ionospheric Measurements (GAIM1) Model, developed by Space Environment Corp, Providence, UT. The ensemble forecast capability will produce a several-day forecast of the solar wind and ionosphere. First, the contractor will determine model and data uncertainties of the SWMS. Second, the contractor will produce an ensemble type forecast capability with "most probable" and associated uncertainties. The uncertainties will contain both ensemble variation and known model uncertainties. Ionospheric representation of uncertainties will be developed in collaboration with Air Force Weather Agency scientists for space weather needs. The contractor is solely responsible for the completion of all required tasks identified within the SOW and to provide traceable levels of effort toward desired program objectives. All work will be completed one year after award. Award is anticipated 26 March 2010. This acquisition is unrestricted as to business size.
