Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere Modeling Using the TIME-GCM
Abstract
A major goal of the research is to understand how elements in the coupled upper atmosphere/ ionosphere system interact with one another and to determine how this coupled system responds to the variable energy input from the sun and the variable input from the lower atmosphere and ocean. The research focuses on understanding the sources and characteristics of global-scale ionospheric, thermospheric, and mesospheric structure and variability and the coupling of those atmospheric regions to the lower atmosphere and to the magnetosphere and solar wind.
