Ionosheric outflow can be a significant contributor to the plasma population of the magnetosphere during active geomagnetic conditions. Most Magnetosphere- Ionosphere Coupling (MIC) models do not include this outflow in a physical manner; instead they rely on pressure gradient terms to draw plasma off the inner boundary of the magnetosphere. We present preliminary results of new ef- forts to model the source and effects of out-flowing plasma in the Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF). In particular, we use the Polar Wind Outflow Model (PWOM), a field-aligned multi-fluid polar wind code, coupled to the Iono- sphere Electrodynamics (IE), and Global Magnetosphere (GM) components of the SWMF. We present our methodology for the MIC, as well as the evolution of the outflow during a geomagnetic storm. Moreover, we explore the use of multi-species and multi-fluid MHD to track the resulting plasma composition in the magnetosphere.
