The following describes the standardized solar wind model input format used as inputs to the HAF, ISPM and STOA  solar wind models.  Please forward suggestions or comments to Ghee Fry or Zdenka Smith.

Format is free form.  Separate each parameter by at least one space.
Do not leave out a parameter unless it is at the end of the required inputs.
Use XXX if parameter is missing.

NNN       Event Number (any number of digits).  New number for each event.
YYYY      4-digit year    Event start time (required)
MM        2-digit month       "               "
DD        2-digit day         "               "
HH        2-digit hour        "               "
MM        2-digit minute      "               "
LAT       Source heliographic latitude  [N or S deg] (required)
LON       Source heliographic longitude [E or W deg](required)
VS        Type-II shock speed [km/s] (ISPM/STOA: required;  HAF: Overrides value computed from IB)
TAU       Event decay constant [hhmm] (ISPM/STOA: required; HAF; Overrides value computed from 
          HHMM, MAX, END)
VSW       BAckground solar wind speed [km/s] (ISPM/STOA: required; HAF: Not used)
SIGMA     Area extent of event source [deg] (HAF: If present, will replace value 
          computed internally)
XMAX      HHMM format      Event max time (HAF: required if TAU is missing)
XEND      HHMM format      Event end time (HAF: required if TAU is missing)
OPT       Optical flare Importance, Brilliance (HAF: required if VS missing)
XRAY      X-ray event class and flux (e.g., X17)
STN       Station ID of source of optical data.  Character (e.g., BOU) or numeric (e.g., 31777)
          (optional)
SAT       Satellite ID of source of X-ray data.  Character (e.g., GOES10) (optional)
