Large Model Outputs from the CEDAR Data Base at NCAR/HAO

These models consist of the following: - Thermosphere Ionosphere General Circulation Model (TIGCM) developed by Raymond Noble and colleagues. The TIGCM solves for neutral and ion temperature and composition, and neutral winds on pressure surfaces between about 97 km and 550 km.

Tidal motions were calculated by Cassandra Fresen. CEDAR Data Base consists of TIGCM model run for 22 March 1979; 12 TIGCM generic runs for neutral winds, temperatures, and tides; 18 TIGCM generic runs for neutral winds, temperatures, and tides at 70W only. - Assimilative Mapping of Ionospheric Electrodynamics (AMIE) procedure developed by Arthur Richmond. AMIE solves for auroral energy flux and mean energy, the height of integrated conductances, and the electric potential and currents at 100 km for specific periods. - Solar semi-diurnal tides calculated by Jeffrey Forbes and Francois Vial. - Lunar semi-diurnal tides calculated by Francois Vial and Jeffery Forbes. - solar diurnal and semi-diurnal tides calculated by the Global-Scale Wave Model (GSWM) dveloped by Maura Hagan and coleagues.
