9400877 Killeen The objective of this research is to continue and extend a series of theoretical studies of the Earth's upper atmosphere, involving applying various post processor computer programs to study the physically significant processes that cause change in the various fields calculated by the model. The focus of this work will be on two areas: (1) existing post processors will be maintained and modified to match the continuing development of the Thermosphere/Ionosphere Electrodynamic General Circulation Model to provide improved diagnostics of thermospheric processes and aid in CEDAR experimental investigations; and (2) a series of scientific studies are proposed: a thermodynamic term analysis of wave modes, a study of momentum dissipation's role on particle transport, causes of the distribution of minor species, ion-neutral and neutral-ion coupling, and so forth. Finally, this project will be collaborative with the National Center for Atmospheric Research. ***

9400877 KILLEEN这项研究的目的是继续并扩展一系列对地球上层大气的理论研究，涉及应用各种后处理器计算机程序来研究导致模型计算出的各个领域变化的物理意义的过程。 这项工作的重点将放在两个领域：（1）现有的后处理器将进行维护和修改，以匹配热层/电离层电动动力学一般循环模型的持续发展，以改善热层过程的诊断并帮助锡达实验研究； （2）提出了一系列科学研究：波模式的热力学术语分析，​​对动量耗散在粒子传输中的作用的研究，次要物种分布的原因，离子中性和中性离子耦合等。 最后，该项目将与国家大气研究中心合作。 ***
