The April 2002 ISR World Day observations spanned both a very calm time period and a time of intense storm activity lasting several days. This dataset provides an ideal setting to evaluate the response of the Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Electrodynamic General Circulation Model (TIMEGCM) for unusually stressed space weather conditions. We make comparisons between TIMEGCM and both an equatorial station (the Jicamarca Radio Observatory) and a midlatitude station (the Arecibo Observatory), both of which were collecting data during this time period. Parameters used in this comparison include the electron density, ion and electron temperatures, ion velocities, and the neutral wind. There are many regions of good agreement between the model and the data, and we identify areas where the model could be improved.
