Scientific paper

Ionospheric observations made during the IPY provide an excellent opportunity to study the long-term behavior of the ionosphere-thermosphere system and perform statistical comparisons between upper atmospheric models. While the IPY took place during solar minimum, in reality, observations indicate a large range of atmospheric conditions. Simulating these variations during such a long-term observational campaign provides a challenge to modelers because of the relatively high dependence on the parameterization of subgrid-scale features such as Eddy-diffusion and other relatively unknown quantities such as reaction rates within the upper atmosphere. In this study, results from the Global Ionosphere- Thermosphere Model (GITM) are used to investigate the uncertainty associated with this parameterization, specifically of thermospheric properties, and the consequences for the ionospheric solution.
