Description

The Network of Models (NoM) represents a significant advancement in ESA's space environment modelling capabilities, offering streamlined access to radiation environment and effects analysis tools through simple Python interfaces. Building upon ESA's substantial investment in established systems such as SPENVIS and ESPREM, NoM provides users with access to a comprehensive suite of models while maintaining a low barrier to entry. The system's architecture is underpinned by a taxonomy that defines standardized input and output quantities, facilitating interoperability between diverse models. This presentation details recent enhancements to the NoM taxonomy that expand its applicability to a broader range of space environment models and output formats. We discuss ongoing developments under the LeNoM project, highlighting how these developments support the radiation environment modelling community and align with the IRENE initiative's goals for accessible, interoperable climatology models. By standardizing model interfaces NoM contributes to improved data accessibility and model comparison capabilities, addressing key priorities identified within the space radiation community.
