The Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center provides access to state-of-the-art space weather models to the research community. In addition the CCMC has been a pioneer in utilizing and developing innovative systems and tools in addressing the needs of the space weather community in general and of NASA mission operators in particular. In this presentation we will introduce some of our latest tools that are available to everyone in the community.
An important objective of the CCMC is to prototype, validate, and compare various methods for space weather event predictions. As a means to achieve this goal the CCMC is involved in the development of Space Weather Scoreboards. The CME arrival scoreboard has been in operation for about three years and compares the real-time arrival time estimates of CMEs derived from different models provided by the space weather community. A scoreboard for flare predictions is also available now and a scoreboard for solar energetic particle event (SEPs)s is currently under development.
We will also present an overview of other tools and services at the CCMC: the
Space Weather Database Of Notifications, Knowledge, Information (SW DONKI) which archives and properly connects space weather events likes flares, CMEs (including simulations), SEPs, and geomagnetic storms; real-time single and ensemble modelling of CMEs with the WSA-Enlil-Cone model which are available via the Integrated Space Weather Analysis System (ISWA); EEGGL (Eruptive Event Generator using Gibson-Low configuration) which is a new tool for simulating CMEs that includes the capability for evaluating the magnetic field configuration of the CME and the CCMC Stereo CME Analysis Tool (StereoCAT) which employs geometrical triangulation techniques to estimate CME model input parameters.
