The Global Ultraviolet Imager (GUVI) on the NASA Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) spacecraft is a hyperspectral imager that operates in the far ultraviolet (110 to 180 nm). During the April storm GUVI observed changes in the observed radiance that can be interpreted in terms of changes in composition in the ionosphere and thermosphere (IT) and the coupled response of the IT system to forcing from outside the atmosphere. In this paper we review the results of the ASPEN TIMEGCM runs and compare them to the GUVI observations. We will report on our analysis of the neutral composition measurements and the observed change that occured in response to external inputs. We will also report on our analysis of the GUVI observations of the nightside ionosphere. In those observations we see the clear signature of the interaction of the IT system as it responds to high latitude forcing.
