Abstract

The thermosphere-ionosphere-electrodynamics general circulation model (TIEGCM) is a community model developed and maintained at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. It also can be run at the NASA Community Coordinated Modeling Center, and is a component of the coupled magnetosphere- ionospherethermosphere Model (CMIT). This paper describes the TIE-GCM development history, model elements, model input and output, the equations solved, boundary conditions, and numerical techniques. Some model validation examples are shown, and future improvements and developments are discussed.
