The TIEGCM and related Thermosphere-Ionosphere models have been developed by the “Atmosphere Ionosphere Magnetosphere” (AIM) Section of the High Altitude Observatory (HAO) at NCAR (see http://www.hao.ucar.edu/modeling/tgcm).
For information and assistance regarding the software (source code and supporting script infrastructure, including building and executing the models and using the post-processors, you may contact Ben Foster at foster@ucar.edu.
For questions and information regarding the physics and chemistry implementation of the model, numerical algorithms, and analysis of model results, you may contact any of the following HAO scientists:
