Studies to Improve the Science in the GAIM - Full Physics Model

Abstract : The primary goals of the project are to conduct scientific studies to improve the science in the GAIM-Full Physics data assimilation model and to elucidate the processes underlying ionospheric weather features. The emphasis is on the effect that equatorial plasma bubbles have on data assimilation and on ways to improve the high-latitude ionosphere in the GAIM-FP model.
