Validation of VERB3D Simulation Results in Response to the COSPAR ISWAT Challenge

Simulated 900 keV electrons fresults along RBSP-B for four simulations including the default run (*_default.txt), simulation with DLL/10 inside the plasmasphere (*_DLLscaled.txt), simulation with doubled hiss losses (*_Hiss2times.txt), Simulation without including magnetopause shadowing loss (*_withoutMPS.txt). The data format stored in each file is consistent, with four coulmns represent time (Matlab data format), L*, observed 900 keV electron fluxes, simulated 900 keV fluxes, respectively. The correponding metrics such as normalized difference (ND ),Median Symmetric Accuracy (MSA) and the Symmetric Signed Percentage Bias (SSPB) shown in the paper can be calculated based on the observed and simulated electron fluxes in each file for different simulation runs.
