The NRL ionosphere/plasmasphere model SAMI3 has been modified to support the NASA ICON mission. Specifically, SAMI3 ICON has been modified to import the thermospheric composition, temperature, and winds from TIEGCM-ICON and the high-latitude potential from AMIE data. The codes will be run on a daily basis during the ICON mission to provide ionosphere and thermosphere properties to the science community. SAMI3 ICON will provide ionospheric and plasmaspheric parameters such as the electron and ion densities, temperatures, and velocities, as well as the total electron content (TEC), peak ionospheric electron density (NmF2) and height of the layer at NmF2 (hmF2).
海军研究实验室（NRL）的电离层/等离子层模型SAMI3已被修改，以支持美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的电离层连接探测器（ICON）任务。具体而言，SAMI3 ICON已被修改，以便从热层电离层电动力学通用模型（TIEGCM）-ICON导入热层成分、温度和风，并从同化磁层相互作用电动力学模型（AMIE）数据导入高纬度电势。在ICON任务期间，这些代码将每天运行，为科学界提供电离层和热层特性。SAMI3 ICON将提供电离层和等离子层参数，如电子和离子密度、温度和速度，以及总电子含量（TEC）、电离层峰值电子密度（NmF2）和NmF2处该层的高度（hmF2）。
