Aether Model Documentation

Welcome to the documentation of the Aether Model.

Aether is an extremely flexible community-based multi-scale ionosphere-thermosphere model. Ensemble capability, data assimilation, and uncertainty quantification are fundamentally integrated into the core of the model.

Aether is an open-source model, allowing contributors from across the globe to create, incorporate, and commit new solvers, schemes, and physics modules.

Users have straightforward defaults in the model configuration, but are able to select any contributor’s modules in order to allow for maximum flexibility. For example, users can employ faster, less accurate solvers (for prediction) and slower, more accurate solvers (for science).
