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

The Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR)
Data Base holds output from various large models. 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.
