Scientific paper

A one-dimensional model representing the global-average ionosphere and thermosphere (GAIT) is used to explore climatological variability in the upper atmosphere. The GAIT model self-consistently solves the coupled continuity, momentum, and energy equations for the three major neutral species, N2, O2, and O, as well as minor neutral constituents important to the global energy budget. In the ionosphere, the model includes five ion species and two excited states of O+, as well as an approximate treatment of photoelectrons. The model is used to explore the interplay between anthropogenic secular change and solar cycle variability. Model trends are discussed in relation to ionospheric observations, specifically the preponderance of so-called ionospheric G-conditions at solar minimum and foF2 saturation at solar maximum.
