Coupled Models

The LTR code base ships with several possible model couplings:

  • LFM-MIX
  • CMIT: Coupled Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere, comprised of LFM, MIX, TIEGCM
  • LFM-MIX-RCM (aka "LFM-RCM" or "LR")

There are four main steps to work with any of these coupled models:

  1. Compile – documentation can be found on the installation page.
  2. Configure model run using MakeItSo and prepare a Solar Wind file using pyLTR.
  3. Compute – execute the job scripts generated by MakeItSo.
  4. Visualize using your favorite post-processing tool.
