Scientific paper

The CEDAR/TIMED research effort focuses on increasing our understanding of the physical processes which affect and control the energetics and dynamics of the mesosphere and low er thermosphere. Use of upper-atmosphere models such as NCAR TIME-GCM can aid scientists in the interpretation of both satellite and ground-based observations. Our goals are (1) to make TIME-GCM model output readily available for researchers to use in their studies, and (2) to use the CEDAR/TIMED data to improve and upgrade the TIME-GCM model. We are preparing samples of TIME-GCM output to make available to the community via the Web. The data will be in netCDF format and accessible from the CEDAR database. Data will be sampled along the instrument observing tracks to facilitate direct comparisons with the TIMED instrument data. The data made available will approximately cover a 60-day period. The altitude range and fields to be made available will vary with each instrument, but will include neutral temperatures and winds, ion temperatures and drifts, and basic constituents, over approximately 50-300 km. Similar products will be made available for the CEDAR ground-based component of TIMED, including the NSF CEDAR Class 1 Facilities. We will present some sample data files and describe the Web site layout which researchers can use to access the TIME-GCM output as it becomes available.
