Solar radio burst Electron Motion Tracker

Forward Modeling of the Type III Radio Burst Exciter

Description of model can be found in ./paper.pdf

Python

git clone https://github.come/peijin94/SEMP.git
cd SEMP
python -m pip install .

demo in Jupyter notebook in demo-ipynb folder

Data

CDF data format NASA online database.

cdflib is used for reading CDF files.

Download demo data:

run this to download the data to parent folder

cd ../  
gdown --folder https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1y7--cGBXU3gsYz2nZ_kI_5plRAHQY4MO

Matlab

Step-by-step demo (matlab):

Install Matlab 2018b or newer then,

git clone https://github.com/peijin94/SEMP.git
cd SEMP/matlabsemp

Run the runMe_gui.m

Load data files of CDF format
Input the poistions of WIND and STEREO
Select the time range which contains a event
Select the frequency channels
Mark the leading edge (fun part)
Start the 'Best Model Finding Process' by click 'NextStep'

Click "import" button in the LoadData GUI, and click all the 'NextStep' way down to see the result

The final step may take a few minutes to find the best solution for the radio source trajectory, thank you for the patience.
