USA (Mississippi) – Multi Investigation Platform

(1) Vendor needs to provide multi investigation platform.• The objective is to use existing in situ and ground-based observations to build a few well-defined event studies that can identify measurement needs and observational gaps relevant to the future Links multi-scale geospace mission.• Characteristics, Scope, and SpecsThe contractor shall perform the following duties:• Identify candidate substorm events (space weather activity) that contain THEMIS and MMS alignment, with good ground-based observational coverage. Additional data from missions such as ELFIN, POES/MetOp, Swarm, etc.• Produce studies of current sheet formation and disruption in the near-Earth magnetotail using MMS and THEMIS in situ observations. Goal is to calculate reconnection rates with respect to other observables and other small-scale energy conversion signatures, for comparison to macro- and meso-scale phenomena.• Study magnetotail activity in relation to near-Earth particle injections, ionospheric particle precipitation, and other ionospheric responses.• Develop an AI-ML-assisted event workflow to support event organization and feature extraction across different datasets. Expected delivery is a prototype workflow that would enhance Links-relevant data analysis and planning.(2) The contract period will be for one year.
