What is it about?
This paper describes a model that we developed in order to predict hazards to satellites from the Earth's Van Allen Radiation Belts. The model uses data assimilation techniques. Data assimilation combines physics-based numerical models with satellite observations to give more accurate predictions.

Why is it important?
The DREAM model has been used in a number of important scientific publications focused on better understanding of the Earth's radiation belts and is now in testing at the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center.
Perspectives
This is the go-to paper for understanding how the DREAM model is put together. It also provides some of the initial validation and testing results.
