Abstrakt: A coupled Earth's thermosohere-ionosphere global dynamics model (for altitudes of 90–500 km) is presented. This model is based on a three-dimensional thermospheric general circulation model and a dynamical model of the ionospheric F-layer, which takes into account plasma-chemical processes, ambipolar diffusion, and advective ion transport due to neutral wind. General upper atmosphere characteristics have adequately been reproduced and the thermosphere–ionosphere interaction has quantitatively been estimated based on this coupled model. The sensitivity of thermospheric characteristics to ionospheric parameters and the sensitivity of the electron-concentration field distribution in the ionospheric F-layer to thermospheric parameters have been studied within a specified diurnal cycle.
