Introduction

The NCAR/HAO Thermosphere Ionosphere Electrodynamics General Circulation Model, or TIEGCM, is a three-dimensional, time-dependent, numeric simulation model of the Earth’s upper atmosphere, including the upper Stratosphere, Mesosphere and Thermosphere.

This document is intended to assist members of the upper atmosphere research community in building, executing, and visualizing the TIEGCM as an integral part of their research. We also welcome development efforts on the model itself, subject to the Academic Research License Agreement tiegcmlicense.txt.

For more information about the TIEGCM and other related models, please see our website at http://www.hao.ucar.edu/modeling/tgcm/. You can also join the moderated email list “tgcmgroup”, at http://mailman.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/tgcmgroup. This is primarilly used for rare announcements, not high-traffic discussion, debugging, etc.

To discuss problems, report bugs, or otherwise contact a real person at NCAR/HAO, you can write to Ben Foster at foster@ucar.edu.
