3DCORE - Forward modeling of solar storm magnetic flux ropes for space weather prediction

This code is concerned with data interpretation and prediction for space weather research. It is a method for forward modeling of solar storm magnetic flux ropes, called 3-Dimensional Coronal Rope Ejection (3DCORE). <br>3DCORE is able to produce synthetic in situ observations of the magnetic cores of solar coronal mass ejections sweeping over planets and spacecraft. Near Earth, these data are taken currently by the Wind, ACE and DSCOVR spacecraft. Other suitable spacecraft making these kind of observations carrying magnetometers in the solar wind were MESSENGER, Venus Express, MAVEN, and even Helios, and in the future this will be done by Parker Solar Probe, Solar Orbiter and possibly interplanetary CubeSats.<br>It is distributed with an MIT license and has this DOI: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.5450341<br>If this research is used for peer-reviewed scientific publications, the paper below needs to cited and in any case, please also contact me either [e-mail] through https://twitter.com/chrisoutofspace<br><br>This code was used for producing the figures and results in the publication: Möstl et al.
