Solar wind driving of magnetospheric ULF waves: Pulsations driven by velocity shear at the magnetopause (2008, methodology): “The details of the numerical methods used within the code are described by Lyon et al. [2004]. As an inner boundary condition, the magnetospheric portion of the code couples to a 2-D ionospheric simulation which computes the cross polar cap potential, needed for the plasma flow boundary condition, b”
Radial diffusion and MHD particle simulations of relativistic electron transport by ULF waves in the september 1998 storm (2006, methodology): “[4] The Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry global MHD code [ Lyon et al., 1998, 2004; Wiltberger et al., 2000] was used to specify the time-evolving geomagnetic environment during the 24–26 September 1998 magnetic storm.”
Adaptive numerical algorithms in space weather modeling (2012, methodology): “For example in the CISM framework the solar corona, t he heliosphere and the magnetosphere are modeled by the MAS [10], the ENLIL [11] and the LFM [12] codes, respect ively.”

Observations and simulations of the ionospheric and thermospheric response to the December 2006 geomagnetic storm : Initial phase (2007, methodology): “[8] The LFM code solves the ideal MHD equations for the magnetosphere in a conservative form using the Partial Interface Method on a distorted spherical mesh and Yee type grid [ Lyon et al., 2004 ].”
EXTENSION OF THE MURAM RADIATIVE MHD CODE FOR CORONAL SIMULATIONS (2016, methodology): “The approach is based on semirelativistic MHD with an artificially reduced speed of light and has been widely used for numerical simulations of planetary magnetospheres (see, e.g. Gombosi et al. 2002; Lyon et al. 2004).”
