O2-01 Kamodo Action Team

L. Rastaetter, R. Ringuette, D. DeZeeuw A. Pembroke, O. Gerland

CCMC at NASA GSFC,

Ensemble Consulting

Status:

• Kamodo basic functionality
• Unit transformation,
• coordinate transformation
• command line access
• High-level additions to Kamodo:
• Dashboard
• API access
• 4D interpolators
• Satellite fly-through
• Readers for geospace models:
• ionosphere-thermosphere (TIE-GCM, CTIpe, GITM, IRI)
• global magnetosphere models (OpenGGCM, SWMF/BATSRUS, GUMICS)

​

O2-01 Papers:

• Pembroke et al: Kamodo: A functional API for space weather models and data
• Functional programming based on SymPy and Python in Heliosphere Community (PyHC) packages.
• Remove impediments for cross-disciplinary research.
• Plans: Containerization and API development.

Paper to be submitted to Journal outside of ISWAT issue.

• De Zeeuw et al: Kamodo Visualization
• Use of Plotly, customized plots implemented, demo page.
• Plans: build out plot options and add features in plot scenes.
• Rastaetter et al.: Geospace access in Kamodo
• Improvements over CCMC online visualization: higher numerical accuracy, 4D (time, space), interactive plots.
• Same interface for 3D (time+2D) ionosphere electrodynamics and 4D (time+3D) global model outputs.
• Plans: inclusion of mapping methods, standardization of variable names.
• Ringuette et al.: Kamodo-based tools for Model Data Accessibility
• Eliminate need to deep-dive into model output formats.
• Demonstrate satellite-fly-through workflow.
• Explain reconstruction workflow for mission planning.
• Present workflows of model-data comparison studies.
• Plans: Access from other programming languages (Fortran, C, C++ calling Python).

A second paper on methodology is planned for journal outside of ISWAT issue.

O2-01 Papers

• Drafts planned by end of October
• Submit by Early December (before AGU)
