Examining the Thermospheric Tidal Variability and its Impact on Ionospheric Variability using Whole Atmosphere Modeling and Observations

The overarching goal of this project is to investigate the sources of day-to-day variability in near- Earth space environment during geomagnetically quiet periods. Forecasting of space weather is often done using physics-based computer models. However, these models often lack skills in accurately predicting day-to-day variabilities, a significant…
