AB: The Space Weather Re-analysis (SWR) project has a goal of creating a data-driven complete picture of the geospace environment over a whole solar cycle. While this long-term goal will most likely not be reached for many years, there has been significant progress in making data-driven modeling results available for significant amounts of time. For example, the Assimilative Mapping of Ionospheric Electrodynamics (AMIE) technique was run for 14 years at a one-minute cadence utilizing ground-based magnetometer measurements. The Global Ionosphere-Thermosphere Model (GITM) has been run for about 8 years utilizing the AMIE output, providing hourly specifications of the upper atmosphere. This talk will discuss the issues in processing vast amounts of data for this project, validating the results, and some of the science that has resulted from undertaking this project.
