Wilford, Chris, PhD October 2002, University of Sheffield, Department of Applied Math, Hicks Building, Hounsfield Road, Sheffield, S3 7RH, UK, phone: 0114 222 3825, fax: 0114 222 3739, e-mail: c.wilford at sheffield.ac.uk, [Roy Moffett, 0114 222 3780, r.moffett at sheffield.ac.uk; Julia Rees, 0114 222 3782, j.rees at sheffield.ac.uk; Graham Bailey, 0114 222 3744, g.bailey at sheffield.ac.uk]. Research interests: My main interest has been to modify the coupled thermosphere-ionosphere-plasmasphere model (CTIP) to, include the ion He+. The modified CTIP model has then been used to study distributions of ions in the upper atmosphere. I am also using models and magnetometer data to study plasma densities near the plasmapause boundary. Instruments, Models, Data used: The models I use are the coupled thermosphere-ionosphere-plasmasphere model (CTIP) and the Sheffield University Plasmasphere Ionosphere Model (SUPIM). I am also using data from the DMSP satellites and the magnetometer arrays SMANET and IMAGE.
