Rather complete computational models of the response of the ionosphere-thermosphere system are deficient only to the extent that the input drivers are poorly specified. However, these input drivers are, in many cases dependent on the state of the ionosphere-thermosphere system and thus it is not possible to specify the inputs independently of the system behavior. For these reasons presently available observations often describe a behavior in the ionosphere that is not immediately recovered from computational models. However the inputs required by these models to reproduce the behavior cannot be specified for among the key variables we do not know the neutral winds, the location of the energy input at high latitudes and how long it persists, and the convective history of the plasma. We will use some observed features of the topside ionosphere to illustrate the challenges that need to be confronted and suggest an approach that could be adopted to meet them.
