Whole Atmospheric Modeling

The whole atmosphere modeling group is working with the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS), a quasi-operational forecast-assimilation system that provides support for NASA missions and retrospective analysis. The ITM whole atmosphere modeling group is tasked with incrementally and sequentially expanding the vertical domain of GEOS to:

1. Augment use of heliophysics observations in s comprehensive Earth system models and upper atmospheric re-analysis;

2. Understand thermospheric/ionospheric processes that support NASA missions and geospace physics challenges;

3. Support space weather research and coupling that include electrodynamics and space weather processes.
