1 Summary
AMIE-derived Geomagnetic Indices
In the Space Weather Reanalysis project, Kihn and Ridley prepared inputs for and ran the AMIE model over the time span of January 1, 1991 through December 31, 2002. Some of the derived products of this simulation are polar cap area, geomagnetic indices AE, AU, and AL, Dst, hemisphere power, Joule heating, and cross polar cap potential.
- This data set is described in (NASA/ADS Search)

- From http://www.hao.ucar.edu/modeling/amie/AMIE_head.php:
The Assimilative Mapping of Ionospheric Electrodynamics (AMIE) procedure is an optimally constrained, weighted least-squares fit of electric potential distribution to diverse types of atmospheric observations. Knowledge of these distributions is important in many areas of magnetospheric, ionospheric, and thermospheric physics.
Applications of the AMIE procedure have shown the value of describing rapidly changing convection patterns. These data can be of great use in evaluating the spatio-temporal variations of electrodynamic fields needed for simulation models.
