S-RAMP(STEP Results, Analysis and Modeling Phase) Database in Japan

Simulation/Modeling (SRAMPDB-J-SM0002)

Version 1.0   November, 1998

3-Dimensional MHD Simulation of Solar Wind - Magnetosphere Interaction
VRML (Virtual Realty Modeling Language)


1. VRML (Virtual Realty Modeling Language) files

This CD-R contains the VRML (Virtual Realty Modeling Language) files 
produced from a computer simulation of the interaction 
between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere, when the 
interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) changed to the north-south 
direction. These VRML files can be seen using a VRML viewer such as the 
Cosmo Player. Several other examples of VRML files and FORTRAN programs 
which produce VRML files are also included in the CD-R. We can 
easily create a large number of VRML files using these FORTRAN programs 
in any UNIX workstation after obtaining the computer simulation data.  
We appreciate your interest in the VRML files in this CD-R. 

Thank you,
