In this project, we propose to develop new methods that will enable efficient data assimilation from multiple satellite missions into complex physics-based models for the evolution of energetic and relativistic particles. We propose to combine state-of-the-art partial differential equation-based models of the inner magnetosphere VERB-3D with newly developed data assimilation methods to reconstruct the dynamics of the inner magnetospheric radiation, utilizing observations from various orbits. The developed data assimilation methods for systems where quantities may vary by several orders of magnitude may be used in the future for other applications in space sciences and potentially other scientific and engineering research areas. We will explore applicability of the developed tools to the analysis of plasmaspheric dynamics and ring current dynamics.
