8 Thermosphere-Ionosphere Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIE-GCM)
Self-consistently calculates neutral and ion densities, composition, velocities, temperatures, along with electric fields and currents, between 97 and 500 km, assuming vertical hydrostatic equilibrium. Basic resolution is 5x5 degrees horizontally, ½ scale height (3-30 km) vertically, dimensioned 73(longitude) x 36 (latitude) x 29 (height) 1-day simulation uses ~ 3 minutes on bluevista, with 3-minute time step. SAMSI meeting 22 May 2007

10 TIE-GCM: How the models is used
Studies of geomagnetic storms Yearlong runs for seasonal studies Model runs with daily varying input (e.g. using NCEP data) Generic input parameters to study certain effects Joule heating [mW/m2] for 18. Oct storm Difference in temperature after doubling global CO2 concentration [Flyer of TIME-GCM] SAMSI meeting 22 May 2007

11 TIE-GCM: “tuning” the model
Lots of parameters which would need tuning or could be improved Simplification of parameters, e.g. ignore latitudinal variation, seasonal dependence Model response is not necessarily linear, i.e. cannot “tune” for one parameter after another SAMSI meeting 22 May 2007

12 Observations Local with varying local time and location
Dependence on season, solar cycle and activity Datatypes: neutral wind, electron density, magnetic field, drift velocity, neutral density Local time [Scherliess et al. 1999] Jicamarca Kp<3 Sa > 150 100 < Sa < 150 Sa < 100 SAMSI meeting 22 May 2007

13 Empirical models International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) model
Mass-Spectrometer-Incoherent-Scatter (MSIS) model Global, can define specific conditions Log10 Ne [1/cm3] at 12 LT at equator IRI 2001 TIE-GCM Electron density (Ne) in TIE-GCM 40 to 60% too low depending on altitude Increase of DB in our experiment SAMSI meeting 22 May 2007

14 MSIS and IRI SAMSI meeting 22 May 2007

15 Our First Plan Initial plan was to vary 7 parameters:
Tidal input (2,2) and (2,4) mode with amplitude and phase parameters Eddy diffusion Burnside factor Nighttime electron density Use data from IRI (electron density height and magnitude of peak density), DB, drift velocities, MSIS (composition, temperature) SAMSI meeting 22 May 2007

16 Our Experiment Reduce to 3 parameters:
Tidal input (2,2) migrating mode with amplitude and phase Range for amplitude [0,360] m and phase [0,12] hrs Nighttime electron density (internal parameter) Range for log10 Ne [3,4] 1/cm3 Use data from DB, drift velocities at different stations SAMSI meeting 22 May 2007

17 Why these parameters? prereversal enhancement in the early evening
no influence on daytime nighttime changes LT tides influence the daytime drift, as well as time and magnitude of early evening peak [Fesen et al. 2000] LT SAMSI meeting 22 May 2007

18 Influence of tidal modes on DB
Fuquene (geog. lat./long. = 5.3o/ -74.o) H D observation background determine tidal amplitude and phase least square fitting to magnetic perturbations around the world (2,6) tidal modes (2,5) (2,4) phase shift: 0 & 3 hrs (2,3) (2,2) SAMSI meeting 22 May 2007

19 Datatypes Conditions: solar minimum, quite time, equinox
Use data from DB, drift velocities at different stations STS MH ARC MU JRO magnetic perturbation drift velocities SAMSI meeting 22 May 2007
