This release provides significant numerical upgrades from the version 2.0 release.

Some upgrades include:

  • SCB has increased robustness and more flexibly fits highly distorted stormtime fields (due to improved handling of the outer bounadry and convergence methods)
  • The code now treats the magnetopause inside its domain physically.
  • A self-consistent electric field calculation has been added as an option.
  • Coupling to recent versions of SWMF has been (re)implemented, with only minor updates pending.
  • Library dependencies have changed for better performance and easier installation.
  • More flexibility in setup can be obtained. Timesteps and resolutions are configurable, etc.
  • Each species is now calculated in parallel (OpenMP)
