The Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) mission was launched during solar maximum and has been collecting data through the declining phase and into solar minimum. One of the main science goals for the TIMED mission is to understand the energetics of the ionosphere, thermosphere, and mesosphere region. This region, located between 60 and 400 km altitude, is the interface between solar and magnetospheric processes above and the lower atmosphere below. We examine the relative importance of various terms in the energy balance under solar maximum conditions using theoretical simulations from the Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere-Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIME-GCM) and observations from the TIMED mission. The TIME-GCM is a global 3-D model we use to simulate the energy balance of the middle and upper atmosphere under solar maximum conditions for different seasons and provide a framework for the interpretation of the data.
