This dataset contains the data produced by four Gorgon Global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of Fast-Forward Interplanetary Shocks of increasing strengths interacting with the Earth''s magnetosphere, as described in the study of Desai et al. (2021). Further description of the Gorgon MHD model can be found at Mejnertsen et al., (2016,2018) and Eggington et al., (2020). The data was produced on the Imperial College High Performance Computing Service (doi: 10.14469/hpc/2232). The MHD equations were solved in the magnetosphere on a regular 3-D cartesian grid of resolution 0.5 Earth radii (RE), covering a domain of dimensions (-20,100) RE in X, (-40,40) RE in Y and (-40,40) RE in Z with an inner boundary at 3 RE. In this coordinate system the Sun lies in the negative X-direction, the Z axis is aligned to the dipole in the 0 degree tilt case (where positive tilt points the north magnetic pole towards the Sun), and Y completes the right-handed set. Output data is timestamped in seconds and is defined at the centre of the grid cells. The simulation data corresponding to each shock are stored in separate directories ''ShockX'' where X=I-IV. The data are stored in hdf5 format. The magnetospheric variables are stored in the files: ''Gorgon_[YYYYMMDD]_MS_params_[XXXXX]s.hdf5'' where XXXXX is the simulation time in seconds. The magnetospheric data includes the magnetic field, (''Bvec_c''), velocity, (''vvec''), plasma density, (''rho1''), and ion temperature, (''Ti''), after 2h of simulation, over the course of 10 minutes. The data for the magnetic field, (''Bvec_c''), and velocity, (''vvec''), are of shape (240,160,160,3) where the first 3 dimensions are the grid indices in (X,Y,Z) indexed from negative to positive, and the final dimension is the cartesian vector component in (i,j,k). The data for the density, (''rho1''), and ion temperature, (''Ti''), is of shape (240,160,160) where the first 3 dimensions are the grid indices in (X,Y,Z) indexed from negative to positive.

This dataset contains data produced by two Gorgon Global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations with steady solar wind conditions interacting with the Earth''s magnetosphere, as utilised in the study of Desai et al. (2021b). Further description of the Gorgon MHD model can be found at Mejnertsen et al., (2016,2018), Eggington et al., (2020) and Desai et al., (2021a). The data was produced on the Imperial College High Performance Computing Service (doi: 10.14469/hpc/2232). Two MHD simulations are contained; one with northward Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) conditions and one with southward (IMF) conditions. The northward IMF condition is run with a grid resolution of 0.25 earth radii (RE) and the southward IMF conditions is run three times for grid resolutions of 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125 RE. The MHD equations were solved in the magnetosphere on a regular 3-D Cartesian grid, covering a domain of dimensions (-20,100) RE in X, (-40,40) RE in Y and (-40,40) RE in Z with an inner boundary at 3 RE. In this coordinate system the Sun lies in the negative X-direction, the Z axis is aligned to the dipole in the 0 degree tilt case (where positive tilt points the north magnetic pole towards the Sun), and Y completes the right-handed set. Output data is timestamped in seconds and is defined at the centre of the grid cells. The simulation data corresponding to each shock are stored in separate directories ''NorthwardX'' and ''SouthwardX'' where X is the grid resolution in RE of: 0.5 for the northward case and 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125 for the southward case. The data are stored in hdf5 format. The magnetospheric variables are stored in the files: ''Gorgon_[YYYYMMDD]_MS_params_[XXXXX]s.hdf5'' where XXXXX is the simulation time in seconds. The magnetospheric data includes the magnetic field, (''Bvec_c'') and Electric field, (''Evec''), after 2hrs of simulation. The data are of shape (240,160,160,3) where the first 3 dimensions are the grid indices in (X,Y,Z) indexed from negative to positive, and the final dimension is the cartesian vector component in (i,j,k).

A forecast model of the northern high-latitude ionospheric plasma motion as observed by the SuperDARN radars. The model comprises a set of regression coefficients. The user needs to specify the day-of-year and the monthly mean of the solar radio flux at 10.7 cm/2800 MHz, often called the f10.7 index. They also need to provide the value of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) component By and the Sun-Earth component of the solar wind velocity Vx, both in geocentric solar magnetospheric (GSM) coordinates. The regression coefficients are provided as two files, one can be used to model the north-south (NS) component of the plasma motion and the other to model the east-west (EW) component of the motion. Funding was provided by NERC standard grant numbers: NE/V002732/1, NE/N01099X/1, NE/V00283X/1, NE/V002686/1 and NE/T000937/1.

The data set comprises ionospheric vorticity estimates determined from measurements of ionospheric velocity made by overlapping pairs of northern hemisphere radars in the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN). The vorticity estimates are separated into data files for each pair of SuperDARN radars that contributed to the whole data set. These data cover large regions of the northern hemisphere polar ionosphere, and the locations of the vorticity estimates are presented in both geographic and Altitude-Adjusted Corrected GeoMagnetic (AACGM) co-ordinates. The data cover the interval from 2000 to 2005 inclusive. This work was funded by NERC grant reference NE/R016038/1.
