Understand the dynamics and energetics associated with the ionosphere surrounding the earth requires the development of sophisticated models that synthesize observations and theoretical calculations. This program is a continuation of theoretical studies of the effects that plasma transport processes have on the ionosphere and thermosphere. The focus on the research is the development of numerical models in support of national and international observational programs. Much of this work will involve direct comparison of observations with the model output using simultaneous data acquired from stations distributed around the globe.

了解与地球周围电离层相关的动力学和能量学需要开发复杂的观测和理论计算的复杂模型。 该程序是对等离子体传输过程对电离层和热层产生影响的理论研究的延续。 研究的重点是发展数值模型以支持国家和国际观察计划。这项工作的大部分将涉及将观测值与模型输出进行直接比较，并使用从全球分布的站点获得的同时数据进行比较。
