4.6 - H3+ Uranus(?) - needs coding, runs
4.7 - Solar ion production - done!
4.8 - Solar heating - done!

Modelling required:
Validation runs (three cases - highly intensive due to powerful aurora)
Uranus runs (two cases - very low intensity aurora) - ongoing
Chemistry module - coding to update for certain Steve based things, then runs using model atmospheres and ion production
Sensitivities - you can't miss these runs, they've been going for a year now... - ongoing

Data from photoionisation and heating now translated into appropriate graphs and tables. That bit of modelling is complete. I have also checked the photon model against some published calculations and it is fine.

Ok, so need numbers for Uranus as that is next. Numbers have been obtained. The model is prepped, keter is, well, keter. If successfull, these two will produce numbers for two tables and four graphs, as well as the seeds for the chemistry stuff, which will take care of two more graphs and the final two tables. Then there's just validations and sensitivities to do... Just. Other people don't really need keter do they?

Interupted by email from BAS, requiring some explanation of hi_tiros plus some hi_tiros_max datasets, all sent off.

Got the two Uranus models set up and running. Eventually... Of course, now I expect them to crash at the most inconvenient moment possible. All I have to do is wait to find out when that is...
