A new 24” by
36” wall poster showcases
the Space Weather Modeling
Framework (SWMF), a Computational
Technologies Project investigation
led by the University of Michigan
(UM). The front side’s
dramatic central image links
an observation of the Sun with
a simulation image showing
the effects of a solar storm
on Earth’s magnetic
field. Data visualizations
represent the 14 SWMF component
models, with color-coded
lines indicating the multiple
connections between the models.
Images along the sides of
the poster illustrate real-world
impacts on Earth and in space.
The back side of the poster
includes a feature story
about applying the SWMF to
the biggest space weather
event in recent history,
descriptions of the component
models and U.S. space weather
programs, and science activities
for the home or classroom.
The SWMF poster debuted
at the 2005 Earth-Sun System
Technology Conference, held
June 28–30 at the University
of Maryland, College Park,
MD. SWMF Principal Investigator
Tamas Gombosi (UM) featured
the poster in his luncheon
lecture on the conference’s
opening day.
Copies of the poster are
available free of charge
for educational purposes
to individuals and groups
in the United States. Please
