The International Polar Year (IPY) has made quality high-latitude ionospheric data available in unprecedented quantities. The existence of a year-long continuous high-latitude data base of incoherent scatter radar (ISR) observations of the ionosphere provides an unprecedented opportunity for model/data comparisons. In the past, physics-based ionospheric models have usually only been compared with observations over restricted one or two day events or against climatological averages. In this study, using the ISR observations, the daily space weather, day-to-day variability, and year-long climatology of the Coupled Thermosphere Ionosphere Plasmasphere Electrodynamics (CTIPe) model have been simultaneously addressed to identify modeling shortcomings and successes. The goal of the study was to capitalize on the unique opportunity represented by the huge increase in data availability during solar minimum conditions to dramatically improve the quality of the model, and the underlying physical understanding, and in particular to develop CTIPe's capabilities in now- and fore-casting.
