Research Overview: These are modeling results of the thermospheric and ionospheric response to the solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. The results are discussed in a research paper published in the Journal of Geophysical Research (doi: 10.1029/2018JA026402) .

Methods: The Global Ionosphere Thermosphere Model (GITM) was used to conduct the simulations.  The input files are included.  The model source code can be found at: https://github.com/aaronjridley/GITM.

File Inventory: There are two directories of files included, one directory with the solar eclipse included, and one without.  The input files are in the main directories, while the output files are in the "data" sub-directories. The output files are binary and at a one minute cadence. Visualization code can be found on github.

Definition of Terms and Variables: Please see the GITM github site for a description of the model and the JGR paper for a description of the results.

Use and Access: Please see the GITM github site for a description of the model and visualization tools and the JGR paper for a description of the results.
