D-region ion–neutral coupled chemistry (Sodankyl? Ion Chemistry, SIC) within the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM 4) – WACCM-SIC and WACCM-rSIC

摘要

This study presents a new ion–neutral chemical model coupled into the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM). The ionospheric D-region (altitudes ～ 50–90?km) chemistry is based on the Sodankyl? Ion Chemistry (SIC) model, a one-dimensional mo
