Scientific paper

A new (1990) version of the NASA/MSFC Global Reference Atmospheric Model (GRAM-90) is presented and discussed. GRAM-90 incorporates extensive new data, mostly collected under the Middle Atmosphere Program (MAP), to produce a completely revised middle atmosphere model (20 to 120 km). The NASA Marshall Engineering Thermosphere (MET) model has also been incorporated into the GRAM-90 program, at all orbital altitudes greater than 120 km. Part I of this report serves as a technical description of the GRAM-90 program, with extensive documentation on the program operation and usage. Sample results are presented, in the form of height-latitude and latitude-longitude plots. Comparisons are made between the empirically based GRAM-90 model and results from a "first principles" stratospheric circulation model (SCM) in the 20- to 80-km height region. Specific areas of improvement of GRAM-90 over the earlier GRAM model results are also noted. A test case example is also included. For Part II see Abstr. 53.002.070.
